> Oberlin is a small liberal arts college with a reputation for turning out students who are strong in the arts and humanities and for its progressive politics... Tuition at Oberlin is more than $61,000 a year, and the overall cost of attendance tops $80,000 a year.
This is why student loan forgiveness is such an important issue.
- Diesel555 4y agoAre you saying that the government should pay off everyone’s loans regardless of the cost of an institution or the value of that education? Or just that college costs are too high in general? I understand loan forgiveness in certain situations, even as proposed by the US current administration [1]. But choosing to attend a small liberal arts college and agreeing to pay more than 80k a year I don’t think is one of those situations.
