The Real Estate Reality of Higher Ed

Behind the ivy-covered walls of America's most prestigious universities lies a multi-billion-dollar real estate operation. Join us as we pull back the curtain on the modern university's financial model, where massive endowments and ever-increasing tuition are used not just for education, but to build a physical empire. From luxury dorms to entire city blocks, we examine how the pursuit of property and prestige is transforming our schools and our cities.
