While definitely steep it's not that unusual for a private university in that part of the country... I went to a private school in north NJ; it was only possible because my father's job paid half... OP, are you from NJ??? New Jersey is a cool state, but please advise your sibling not to go anywhere near heroin; it's destroying communities throughout the state, rich, poor, white, black, immigrant, etc... My friends who grew up in NJ all dread going home to visit family and friends because every time they do, they find out about classmate who has overdosed... Some of these friends went to inner city schools, while others went to smarmy boarding schools for the rich... |
Opiates (Heroin etc) is a problem in this state as well (Wisconsin) so it isn't just a problem in New Jersey. From what I heard in different reports on this, it is basically a backlash from needless perscription pain killers being written to teens who then get hooked on them. Needless as in you just had a cavity filled here is a perscription for the pain, so get off my back about the pain. Makes you wonder if the medical profession learned anything for overperscribing Anti-biotics to get their patients to fell better when it was obviously a virus (anti-biotics for a cold for example).
