I always encourage my students to go for City College. But we're in NY, and the community colleges in some towns might not be that great.

The problem with private US colleges is that they blow money on useless programs that are impossible to find jobs in, and the colleges pass on the cost to the students. "Broadcast Journalism" is the kind of thing that would attract an 18 year old, but you'll never find a job in that field after you graduate.

@foleybarbarian How else would they do it? If you have a good way to pay for every student in America's college expenses, then you would be the smartest man alive. I don't think the professors are going to say "I know it is expensive, but I am going to teach you for free because you seem like a nice kid". Idiot, that's why you aren't going to Harvard.

On March 30, 2006, Harvard announced that it will offer free tuition to students of families with incomes less than $60,000 and give substantial aid to those families earning between $60-80. You can read more about it in the Harvard Gazette and the Harvard Maroon.
