Quite true. Additionally, there are raised expectations around wanting a perfect experience. My college in the 90s was block wall room with bunk beds and communal bathroom on the floor. Today everyone wants a private bedroom, shared kitchen and hang out area in their quad. This costs money and space too. At the same time, we now refuse to give deserving teachers tenure and everything is adjunct and basically gig work. Universities are no longer interested in education. They only want to create the largest possible funnel for endowments in the future. We do need to adjust how student loans work. The government should only guarantee a much lower amount and the rest should be dischargeable. And I personally would like to see it tied to the average 5 year income of students of that school's graduate per degree. We need to stop letting people sign up for $100K degrees in marketing when the average graduate ends up as a barista.
