Not only that but they're being pushed into college by a generation for whom college tuition was something like 400% less (I believe that's after inflation is calculated in but would have to look it up). The fact is, while college administrators and presidents are doing just wonderfully, the actual discernible education has not become much greater for the student to warrant this increase. So you're pushed in by a generation for whom the benefits were great, and the costs affordable to a college education where the costs are exorbitant and the benefits less so.
