Middlebury College in Vermont is offering 30 rising juniors and seniors who would otherwise be living in on-campus housing $10,000 to take the semester off. Middlebury's offer comes as the school is facing a post-pandemic housing crunch on campus. The school let students take leaves of absence during the pandemic to allow flexibility, but that has led to higher numbers of students returning to campus and a lack of housing for upperclass students.

This blog first appeared in the July-August 2023 issue of AGB’s Trusteeship magazine. When you were growing up, I am sure you heard your parents or a teacher say, “Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.” In my youth, I wondered why I wouldn’t want all my eggs in one basket—after all, it would be easier to carry my eggs. With this thought in mind, I volunteered to gather eggs from my grandmother’s hen house when I was about eight.

The most affordable HBCUs cost just a fraction of the national average tuition for schools in the U.S. HBCUs have a rich history, with many dating back to the end of the Civil War. Just because these HBCUs are affordable doesn't mean you won't need financial aid. Education at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) holds immense value. HBCUs provide a culturally enriched environment and foster a sense of belonging and support for students in higher education.

Columbia University is one of the best universities in the world located in what is inarguably one of the best cities in the world — New York City. Columbia stands out in the Ivy League as having the tightest and most time-consuming distribution requirements, which they call the CORE Curriculum. The Columbia CORE is rooted in the tradition of a liberal arts education, and demands that students graduate with deep expertise alongside broad knowledge — you even need to take a swim test to graduate!
