Interesting. Harvard and Yale are outliers in aid. Best deal in town (except for the fact that the degree is Harvard or Yale.)
FWIW, the article is very simplistic and does not in any way reflect the intracacies of FA at Harvard or Yale. The figures on aid assume that a family has no savings or assets apart from the family home and IRA type accounts [which are excluded by both Harvard and Yale in calcualting FA]. If a family has additional assets (or the child had socked away savings from work) or the taxable income is anything other then W-2 wages (e.g., if you had some depreciation which diminished your taxable income), the FA drops dramatically.
Again, FWIW, Princeton has better FA than Yale (and its not even on the list).
In any event, the middle class is really stretched to pay for the college education of their children -- at any university. And if you have more than one in college. . .well, . . .
