How is there not enough competition to provide a good education at a lower price?
It shouldn't be this hard to find a good, affordable education.
- qaq 8y agoIt is easy there are many good online options in many cases with very reasonable cost.
- VikingCoder 8y agoJust to throw this out there, The experience of living in a dorm, and socializing with people... That was the best time of my life. I wouldn't trade that away, if I could help it.
- qaq 8y agowell I guess the question is what can people do if they can't afford to pay for that option.
- VikingCoder 8y agoThe question I'm trying to ask is, Why isn't there enough competition to provide "live at a good, affordable college"?
- puzzlingcaptcha 8y agoThere doesn't need to be competition if anyone can 'afford' it through a government-subsidized loan. It's not exactly a shocking recent revelation either: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/02/18/opinion/our-greedy-colleges.html https://www.nytimes.com/1987/02/18/opinion/our-greedy-colleg...
