When exactly were your college years? College tuition has been growing by 3.6% per year. Rent had been growing by about 3.5% per year, and has accelerated higher recently. If you were accepted to the same university today, and worked the same sort of jobs that you worked back then, would you still be able to afford it?
- dmitrygr 2y ago2005-2008 I was running a contract software development business, so yes, i would.
- leereeves 2y agoI went back to graduate school a few years ago and tuition was very affordable. Rent would have been difficult to afford, but it's hard to see any reason the government should fund student's rent in particular while other people have to pay.
- tetromino_ 2y ago> it's hard to see any reason the government should fund student's rent in particular while other people have to pay The government disagrees, and has decreed that a student's rent (a.k.a. "room and board") is, along with tuition and books, one of the expenses that student loans can be used to pay for.
