Massachusetts Institute of Technology to waive tuition for families making less than $200K.

One of the most prestigious universities in America has made a landmark decision to offer the majority of its incoming undergraduate students a tuition-free education.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced on Wednesday that students with family income below $200,000 can expect to attend the Cambridge institution tuition-free starting next fall.

The bulk of American households meet this income threshold, according to the university, which says the new policy will cover 80% of its incoming classes.

Additionally, students whose family income is below $100,000 will see their entire MIT experience paid for, including tuition, housing, dining, fees and an allowance for books and personal expenses.

At the entrance to the school, kids change into uwabaki, light slippers that are only worn indoors so they stay clean.

The thief then struck again the next night bringing the total number of victims to 13 children.
