Little Cabrini College out in Radnor did something unheard of this week.
They’re cutting prices. Not on books. Not on caps or sweatshirts in the campus bookstore. Not on lunch at the campus grille.
They’re cutting tuition. And not just by a little. The Catholic institution on the Main Line said they would slice tuition for the fall 2012 semester by 12.5 percent. And the cuts would remain in effect until 2015.
You can read all the details here.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s still not cheap. Tuition in the fall at Cabrini will still set families back $29,000. But that’s down from the current $33,176.
As the parent of one college grad who is in law school and another college senior, I can tell you that does not happen very often.
Tuition for the most part is a one-way street. Up.
Here’s hoping other institutions will follow Cabrini’s lead.
Bravo, Cabrini, Bravo!
