which helps the local economy.

The thing that's interesting is the public universities, the ones that are doing the most to recruit and retain these students, have the fewest resources to do that.
voice-verified
So you have students who are often first-generation, their family to go to college, low-income families, and they're going to these schools that can't support them academically or with other resources the way that some other really wealthy private schools could.
voice-verified
So there is a lower sticker price.
voice-verified
But some of the really elite private schools have so much financial aid available now that their net price, the out-of-pocket cost for students, is actually less than it would be at some publics.
voice-verified
Yeah, so students who come from really the lower-income families under $65,000, they can end up paying nothing for tuition, room, and board.
voice-verified
That's a significant amount of money that Stanford's putting forward to help those families.
voice-verified
Yes, absolutely.
voice-verified
It makes it an option for these families.
voice-verified
And a lot of the Ivy League schools have similar financial aid programs that even if you're earning well into the six figures, you might not actually be on the hook for that much in terms of tuition and at some schools, room and board.
voice-verified
Yeah, it's absolutely important for any school to find a way to stand out.
voice-verified
It is kind of a sea of colleges that when you look at their mission statements, things like that, a lot of them do look and sound very similar.
voice-verified
So if a school can stand out and say, hey, our graduates get jobs, or hey, here's proof that we are a diverse learning community, or these days when the financial picture of colleges is in question on a lot of campuses, hey, we have the financial resources to continue to educate students going forward.
voice-verified
That's a really great thing for a school.
voice-verified
At the same time, if a school is just boasting about that one number, that's not enough for a student or a prospective student to make a decision on.
voice-verified
And families, as we say throughout the rankings articles in the journal, this is a launch point.
voice-verified
This is a starting off point for families.
voice-verified
This is not the end-all, be-all way to make a decision about a school.
voice-verified
Absolutely.
