I thought college was an outstanding and irreplaceable experience. I still have student debt (pushing 40) and if that debt were tripled today I'd still think it was the deal of a lifetime.
Other than some international trips, going to a university was probably the best money I've ever spent.

But many more are mired in debt and don't experience any increase in their abilities to think critically. For them, it turns out to be one the worst experiences of their life.
- anonymous5133 9y agoEasy solution: have two forms of college and let students pick when one they want to go to. Have one system where it is primarily online and low cost. Then have the traditional system where it is physical classes and high costs. Let students decide where to go.
- muninn_ 9y agoWhy even have cost? You can take plenty of courses for free and there's no need for the actual degree. Then you can go learn a trade, and study in your free time if you are so inclined.
