Even Harvard Would Be Cheaper!

Perhaps you've heard that both Harvard and Yale are going to start offering generous financial aid packages to middle and upper-middle class students. I personally think that this is a great move and am happy to see schools willing to take this step. But the "funny" thing about these new financial aid packages is that it would be cheaper for us to send a child to Harvard than it is to send a child to day care! Sara just realized this the other day, and I'm still trying to figure out how that can possibly be true. Perhaps child care centers just need bigger endowments!
