You are so, so misguided in your thoughts. I came to this country for graduate studies and took on a loan for a portion of it, amounting to almost $20K. Took me the better part of 2 yrs to pay it back. I came from a modest family background. While I didn't have an undergrad loan, I certainly didn't have any money to back me up.
Most foreigners grow up with far fewer resources than you did in this country. The USD is still stronger than 99% of currencies. While I don't dispute that college education is ridiculously overpriced here, that is a different, unrelated problem.
- programnature 14y agoThis is not about you, this is about what is good for the country. Is it good for the country to disincentivize graduate work for people who are born here? Is it good for the country for every STEM lecturer to have bad english language skills? This is already the norm at many state schools, and makes people drop those subjects because they can't understand or relate to their teachers. Of course it is hard for immigrants to relate to the spoiled "fat" americans, but the social and cultural realities exist and are not trivial.
