It would be less of an issue if there was an actual free market, instead all unis just max out the student loan and still complain there's not enough money. I'd happily go to a shack if there's good teaching.
The US are even more innovative in ripping off students.
- LatteLazy 6y agoI'm always surprised their aren't more US schools that are just academics. They all seem to have football teams and sports stadiums and up market dorms. I went to Exeter. I picked the cheapest accommodation. I was more than happy with the on site sports centre. I wouldn't want to pay double for gold taps and an arena. I think it would be interesting to see how places fared if tuition was linked to rankings. Top 10 can charge full wack, Next 10 80%, etc. But that would force people to make hard decisions...
- username90 6y agoThe Principal leaves money on the table if they only do academics. You get paid based on the budget of the organisation you run, and just doing academics for 1000 students obviously needs a smaller budget than doing academics, sports, entertainment, lodging etc for 1000 students.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoThere are more of these schools than the big names with athletic programs. You just never hear about them.
- KaiserPro 6y agoI don't think a free market would help that much. It would have been better if they'd just actually made "tuition fees" an actual proper graduation tax, rather than a tax for the poor and a loan for the rich.
