Some of their articles are online and available to read, others (like the Harvard article [http://www.theweekdaily.com/search/?words=harvard&x=0&y=0]) seem to be locked only to subscribers. Incidentally, I only just found out about this magazine two days ago when I was at my aunt's house because she has a subscription and it was lying around. It's interesting in that it combs other news sources and compiles together snippets (essentially) so as to give you an idea of what is being said in various sources about the topics.

I would love to read it. I agree with your comment about state schools. It was cheaper for me to go to Princeton than UCLA. If I went now, it wouldn't even be close. I could go to Princeton pretty much for free. UCLA would actually be pretty expensive, even in state. Is this article you read online? I would love to read it.

The magazine called The Week basically made the case that by doing what it has done, it still enables the rich to get richer. But that's not what I want to comment on. I think, in general, private schools end up being WAY cheaper than state-run schools. Woodbury has nowhere near the endowment Princeton has, but I still got excellent financial aid and only had something like $3000 worth of loans to pay off for my entire 4 years because I got a lot of grants.
