<p>I read the article and went to the website of that college. It does look like a very good school. But it falls short of being ideal, because it is unaffordable. Most students can't afford spending over $40,000 per year.</p>

courses in the liberal arts that would sharpen their skills in writing, 
analysis, and reasoning. And they’d graduate with some real-life 
knowledge, such as how to interview for a job. There’d be no tenure for 
faculty, but instructors would be made to feel they’re valued members of
 the enterprise. And administrators would constantly ask themselves “how
