College Tuition Is Too High.
Many students cannot afford to go college today because of the rising tuition. Today, most college classes cost between $1000-$2000 USD per class. No class is worth that much money, especially Liberal Arts Classes that do not even pertain to one's major or minor concentration.

Yes, these costly tuitions are limiting many students from a better educational. I have seen many examples of students accepted into great universities but were unable to attend because of the heavy financial burden. Colleges need to consider the fact that they are demanding heavy curriculum and work hours simultaneously.

College tuition is skyrocketing. The cost of college is ludicris. Every year it keeps getting raised too. It is almost making it impossible for kids to go anymore. If they do attend and take out loans, it takes forever to pay them back and you still get no where for a very long time. They say going to college is a wise investment, but these days I don't know if that still applies because of the cost of school.

To equate their steps with the growing inflation many private as well as government colleges and universities upraise their tuition fees, sometimes this upraising is over hundred percent. Today most college classes cost $1000-$2000 USD per class, and certainly this amount of money might be similar with the one month income of a working class family. Tuition fees of vocational courses which the students generally take side by side their work or to employ themselves in some distinct professional field are also upraised. We do not find reason why course fees of Liberal Arts which are not worthy to major or minor part of a student is so high. Government should have to think of this growing problem that education should not be expensive. Talented students of working class families used to give up their education in mid way to free their family from a major or debt.

Yes i agree its a lot but depends on what college you want to attend to. Me myself is looking for a nice college but it will cost me a lot but my education in the end will be worth it once i get my diploma and get my job and make $$.

It is a lot of money. However there are ways around to 1) earn money or 2) Get good grades and earn a scholarship.

Also in American (and maybe UK) there are some of the best Collages and Universities, and since many people come from other countries to get into them there is a huge profit gain.

I agree! The huge cost of college tuition is a major reason why many people never pursue higher education and start working. While most parents can not afford to pay for their child’s college education students try to work and finance their college education. Some students manage and pay for their education while others are not successful in managing the burden of studies and working to pay for their tuition.

Government should either focus on lowering the education cost or should provide more and more scholarships and education finance programs like interest free loans for education etc.

While yes, education costs are high, a lot of students are too lazy to actually get jobs to pay for their own education. Those commercials on TV where it gives options about paying for college, nowhere does it say "GET A JOB!"

Many people, myself included, never had a student loan, never had our parents pay for it, we worked and we worked hard and we got through college on our own. Today's kids are just lazy.

I disagree because if you didn't go to college you would make a lot less and if you went to college you would make way more cash a yr
