As the prices of college are rising students and parents question themselves about college, is it really worth it to spend thousands of dollars for their kids to get a higher education. The prices differ for different students. Every college has a different price, whether it’s in-state or out-of state, if they are international students, a student with DACA, or just an undocumented students. There’s a huge difference within in-state colleges and out-of state colleges. The difference is that in-state

economy since it “prevents people from forming families, buying homes, and starting small businesses” (Hillary Clinton’s Commitment). In response, Clinton has created her own policy, the New College Compact, to combat the rising costs of higher education. The plan has been stated to allow students to attend “a 4-year public college without taking loans for tuition, attend community college tuition-free” while urging “states to re-invest and schools to reduce costs and raise graduation rates”(College

Many economist view this current student loan issue in the same realm as the home mortgage crisis. In 2008 The mortgage crisis put the American economy into the biggest recession it had seen since the “Great Depression”. An economist by the name of John T. Harvey is highly regarded for his work in economics. Harvey attended the University of Tennessee, where he received a doctorates degree in economics and political science, and has now taken on the role as a Professor of Economics at Texas Christian

Germany recently revoked the policy of college tuition in all providences nationwide, and with free tuition, more and more students every year can attend college (O 'Shaughnessy, Lynn). Germany is not the only country to apply this policy towards education either; Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Sweden and several others all offer tree tuition for public universities (Noak, Rick). For that reason, the solution to some of the aspects of the student loan debt crisis should be adapted from policies currently

RAAD Program When thinking about college the same fear is established in just about every student’s mind: how am I going to pay for college? With an increase in college tuition in the past ten years, that question has become more prevalent. Whether it is a private or public institution, the price to attend is still no pocket change and how to pay for it has become harder and harder to accomplish. “At private four-year institutions, the average tuition, fee, room and board

the Pell Grant was at the height of its buying power”(“Tuitions Rise Sharply”, 2). With the loss of grants and the increase of student loans, student debt began to increase rapidly. Students now have to pay for an increasing percentage of their education.

America is the land of dreams and opportunity. It is the place where people from all around the world come to find jobs, build a career, and start the life that they have always wanted. What a lot of people are unaware of, though, is that America is also the home of unaffordable college tuition. It is a place where students from across the nation spend decades of their life paying off student loans (Joseph). According to Marc Joseph, the average American leaves a typical 4-year college with over

in America (Kess). Students from all over the nation, and the world for that matter, are going to higher education without the financial ability to do so. One of the few options for financial aid available to these prospective college students is to take out student loans to pay for the high tuition of most universities and colleges. While these loans are a modality for attending higher education, they often come with strings. Along with being several thousand dollars in debt, interest also accumulates

I agree, community college should be free. This gives the option to students that can't afford a 4 year university, to still being able to go to college and hopefully after two years transferring out. Community college usually helps with coming up with a plan, once you enter a 4 year university, and I am more than positive that not having to worry about paying, would relieve a lot of stress for lower income students. In the article they talk about financial aid when it comes to community college

Every year millions of high school graduates enroll in college and every year millions of graduates come out of college with an average debt of $25,000. But is it really worth it to go to college for a couple years and trying to balance your life with classes, work, exams and debts. For most students college alone is tough enough with trying to learn, deciding what you want to do later in life and then the costs are there too. Trying to pay for your tuition, for your housing, food and clothes are
