不不不，行政管理人员真的啥都不干就好了，关键人家为了凸显存在感，常常没事找事，搞出各种莫名其妙的事要你做
本州公立大学学费还好了。只有私立才贵，光学费也没你说的那么贵加上生活费差不多，有的甚至4年30万还不够。
我 严重 同意 一下 我们这个破校 近年找不到什么高质量的行政人员，来来往往的，来一个就搞一次幺蛾子，烦死了！
其他国家的私立跟美国就不是同种产品 没什么可比性
老黄历了，现在很多州立大学一年的费用要3-4万，UIUC学杂费加生活费已经超过了4万。
美国本州公立是普通孩子（指的是申请不到T20/30私校且家境中产的孩子们）最好的选择。能改变大部分普通孩子命运的不是学校，而是专业！
州大学费减免的家庭收入线比较低，通常是私校的一半。而三四万一年对上中产家庭来说应该负担不大，这些家庭通常在私校基本拿不到学费减免，一年得花八九万。
年收入10万以上20万以下的家庭，小孩能争取上T5的话，基本能免掉学费。如果去州立，很多好的州立是没有减免的，一年3-4万元的税后收入，不是一个小数目。
总的来说，普通中产和中高产是最吃亏的。
