You seem to be completely unaware of how wildly the cost of education has increased even over just the past decade, especially for 4-year institutions.
- irrational 6y agoIt depends on the university. I just checked and the university I attended is only about $750 more expensive per semester now than it was when I attended 2 decades ago. Not all universities jacked up their tuition.
- sergiotapia 6y agoHow? FIU is 7$k per year, that's not prohibitively expensive. I don't understand how people get out of college with $400,000 in student loans.
- rootusrootus 6y ago400K is the folks doing things like med school. I doubt the average is anywhere near that. People getting loans for more than just tuition can easily hit 100K, though. IIRC the university I went to, which is a state institution, lists the average cost at about $28K a year including room, board, tuition, books, etc. So if someone wants to pay for the whole thing on loans and not work any kind of part time job, they're going to end up with a mountain of debt.
- tasuki 6y agoWhere? You seem to be completely unaware that cost of education varies by country.
