this is just really not the case in the US. Top universities have need blind admissions - they will subsidize for you to attend. There are in state tuition universities that are affordable, there are grants, scholarships, etc. Percentage of Americans with college degrees is really not any lower than in Europe
- Turing_Machine 10y agoYes. Just about everybody at the elite schools (e.g., Harvard) gets a significant amount of financial aid.
- nkurz 10y agoThat's misleading. While it's over half, and while those to do receive aid receive a substantial amount, it's very far from "about everybody": Undergraduate Cost And Financial Aid Families with students on scholarship pay an average of $11,500 annually toward the cost of a Harvard education. More than 65 percent of Harvard College students receive scholarship aid, and the average grant this year is $46,000. http://www.harvard.edu/about-harvard/harvard-glance http://www.harvard.edu/about-harvard/harvard-glance
