The US is not Europe.
US colleges already abuse their student population by increasing tuition costs faster than inflation. I do not believe the cost of providing an education has gone up---actually the Internet has made the cost of accessing knowledge free, and colleges pay adjunct professors next to nothing.
Colleges charge whatever they can get away with. And they can charge a lot because tuition loans are subsidized.
- dalke 11y agoCalifornia is in the US, not Europe. Your hypothesis is: "If students are subsidized then colleges will lose incentive to provide a proper education". I showed many examples where that is not true. Some are in Europe. Some were in the US. There are still schools in the US which are tuition free, or in the case of Cooper Union, had no tuition until recently. Your followup comment now concerns a different topic. While it's an important one to answer, it is only indirectly related to being able to 'provide a proper education' as we have the existence proof that the University of California system provided an excellent free college education.
