Free tuition at public college might have been the norm; but not free room and board and books etc. Unless you could pay for all of that, there were also no guaranteed loans which meant that college was still unavailable except to the relatively wealthy.
- ojosilva 3y agoThis. Sending kids to public universities in the US has always been a big money issue for even the better-off parents (not elite), especially with more than 1 kid seeking higher education. It's definitely not just tuition. You have to enable 3 young adults financially like in my parents case. They had to juggle a lot to stay afloat! Thankfully I landed a great paying job after 2 years on the market and was able to help push my brother and sister through Arizona State, although we all picked up a lot of debt in the process though credit cards.
