Did the Baudelaire fortune help pay for Prufrock Prep?

Hmm... do orphans have to pay tuition since their parents aren't making any money anymore?

Here we have what I think is kind of a ridiculous system, where for college you fill out a form where you have to put your parents income, and that determines loans you get and maybe financial aid, even if your parents aren't going to be paying one cent of your tuition. My opinions aside, maybe since the Baudelaires didn't have parents alive with income, even though they did have a fortune, because they were minors they got to go to school for free? I never thought about tuition for Prufrock Prep before.

Does Nero show any signs of being motivated by money? Instead he seems intent on fame and bags of candy.

As bad as Nero is, even he would not charge too much than what's necessary. The higher the charge, the less likely he would have students, and their candy, and would have less of an audience to torment... Oh I mean, perform in front of.
