How could anyone justify paying Whitman's exorbitant tuition and overpriced housing fees? Especially when UW in Seattle is such an obvious alternative. UW is a better school, located in an exciting and vibrant area, and much cheaper. It is obscene for families, scholarship sponsors, or the Federal Government to shell out so much money for a College Education. And it is morally reprehensible for Whitman to charge such high fees when they could *easily* be reduced.
