Ha! No.

My university is quite inexpensive to begin with, though. Not that I would want them to go here if they can go somewhere better.

I had a position with family tuition benefits once. Perhaps I should have kept it, but I didn't even have a family at the time.

I think those are becoming increasingly rare. In our town, USC is famous for granting free tuition to the children of all employees (including low level staff employees). I don't know how much it can last though, as I heard they are in a serious budget crunch.

That's my understanding as well.

I don't know if USC does this, but where I was those benefits basically gave you the lowest registration priority for classes. That seemed smart, because you're often filling otherwise empty seats.
