5. VERY possible that does NOT include anything other than tuition. "Fees" can add another

$1,000 to $1,500 on top of room and board and books.

If you are poor - university is paid for.

If you are rich, you can afford it.

If you are in between, the cost will impoverish you. And the student will finish with six figures of loans to pay off.

Anyone remember the National Defense Student Loans and their 1% interest rate? Or the multitude of grants that were available.

Higher education has become the luxury of the wealthy, the doom of the poor (because of the inferior secondary education many are "graduated" with) and the death of us in between.

The Europeans do it so much better and smarter than we do.
