Why does college pricing feel like it was calculated during happy hour by a philosophy major with a broken calculator? In this episode, we dive into the bizarre world of tuition, net price, and financial aid—with a little help from Douglas Adams and the laws of Bistromathics. I’ll unpack the math, the myths, and why understanding the system is half the battle.
