Why is College So Expensive?
Today, college costs so much money. So many people come out of college with thousands of dollars in student loan debt.Why is college so expensive? I mean one college textbook can cost more than a hundred dollars depending on the subject. I mean that is literally insane. There are technology fees if you have a class that is online. I mean what does that fee even cover if you are using your own computer and Internet connection at home?
Shouldn’t there be a cap for student loans? I mean basically you are giving all of these debts to people aged 18-22 and really strapping them financially for years to come. Isn’t that basically negligent? I mean teachers pressure you to get good grades to get into college and then you are rewarded for all that hard work by having to pay huge student loan debts. I mean parents pay taxes for public schools, if your kid is in college shouldn’t that money be shifted to their college expenses, thus decreasing the overall cost of college expenses? What do you think is necessary to decrease college costs so more people can attend college.
