Single parents have tougher challenges than other students. It is not easy trying to raise babies while working a full-time job and go to school.

We all remember how exciting it was receiving emails and postcards from different colleges during our junior and senior year of high school. Touring the school on open house was exciting because they fed you and gave you prizes along with the speeches on why we should choose that school. We also took advantage of the waived fees to turn in college applications. They basically made us feel desired and unique. Little did we know is that they were investing in us, hoping that we would choose to attend their school. Why? Because they wanted our money. Universities act like businesses. Slowly, but surely they get us in debt with loans because tuition is extremely high. What's their excuse? We get what we pay for. I don't think that the cost of attending a school should dictate the type of education we receive.
