Oh by the way good luck on the NFL draft! GO TO CAROLINA PANTHERS and kick that team in gear! LOL!!! Take care my man!

I got tons of money for my college education....It would pay for my college and books and with my change check, I would invest it in silver bullion....The silver I bought is worth more than the money I owe for college...So when I graduate, my silver will pay all my loans and send me on a nice vacation to party! Gotta stack in silver!!

College should lower their tuition..Its no wonder why no kids want to go to school after high school! Japan is kicking our ass in school because of this reason!

Congrats on graduating. I know this is old, so this info is probably old already but from what I do understand about the situation, loan money was so easily accessible that Colleges didn't really feel the need to lower tuition. The easier loans/credit hit these various sectors, the higher the prices tend to rise. An economics major can better explain what happens when too many dollars are chasing too few goods!

[prettylyricsmarie]

colleges can't survive with the high tuition, they need to charge the high tuition to keep the college afloat. this is what colleges would say. the bad economic situation has been building up for a while. economics is against being indigenous, natural human being. so economics/the world of business doesn't make much sense, yet people back it and support it. in times to come it will be people surviving over which jobs are left, regardless of a college degree or not.

College is all about money in todays society if your not going for MEDICINE, LAWYER....anything else is a waste of time

I think colleges should show their highly paid faculty the door to save money for the poor athletes like you who get free rides for playing games. And further that states should stop funding wasteful sports and athletics programs which only serve to denigrate other less athletic smarter students and spend the saved money educating students in the university level.

You are incredibly ignorant of the Education Bureaucracy in America. During a recession tax revenues fall so a massive deficit is created. This deficit must be made up for with decreased government expenditures so a huge debt is not created. Less taxes mean less money for schools. So schools need to either increase fees or cut expenses. Cutting expenses is difficult with increased enrollment demand. So schools opt for increased tuition.

Wow and you graduated from a tier 1 school..... =D

@Rockynurse it's not like anyone is taught to think critically in college anyway...

[ssheylaaa]

So true i graduate next year and I'm hoping for the best on dealing with that issue.

School is a business. My placement exam was graded incorrectly so the school can sell me classes I didnt need. I appealed my score, took the test again and got a much higher placement in classes. I managed to take off one whole year of unnecessary classes and was able to enroll honor courses. School business is like a car dealership. Selling you features you dont need. Take your placement exam twice to be sure.

Public not for profit schools are not businesses. University of Phoenix and Kaplan are publicly traded businesses so they have a profit motive. If this was a state university then the school has no motive to force you into more remedial classes. If anything it hurts them since they have to pay more $. The tuition students pay is a fraction of the actual cost of their education in most states.

[kevinbenko]

I absolutely agree with you.

However, I don't think that it is likely to happen, as it is *too*easy* to go into debt via a student loan. And while debt is yet another constraint on our freedom, somehow, there is a general attitude in society that makes it a near-requirement to get a college degree if we want to do something worthwhile in the workforce.

We seem to have been fed a myth by the media.

Blah!

wat college u go to man?

[lordblazer]

I think this is a good video post. ITs a real serious issue, and Unis in America tend to be se tup for profit. Though they offer good quality education. I think if things get worse and tuition rises. The USA will lose its bread and butter, and that's being able to train and educated people from other countries and often times keeping them in the country after they are educated. Also less Americans will have degrees. There is no inflation of education. Singapore has a 90% educated population.

I definitely agree, colleges should have been the first to lower costs, but instead of doing that, some are getting rid of schools, and some particular majors will no longer be offered there. This recession isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so hopefully those universities will get a clue. Congrats on making it to the NFL! I pray everything continues to work out for you =)

Check out this youtube channel called ' Dontgotocollege ' and see his videos. You are somewhat seeing through the smokescreen of the College Matrix.
