My business professor always told our class, "Colleges are becoming businesses rather than institutions."
-
Remember that this is for public universities. Private universities can cost 3x more!
-
“Every student has a voucher to pay for school” what a way to call loans
-
When anyone can take out a loan, universities have no incentive to keep prices low
-
Universities stop wasting the money I saved for college, I need cheap tuition, not an expensive looking campus
-
I went to a community college, transferred to a university and graduated with 7k of student loan debt and paid it off in one year. Although I didn’t go to my dream school, I am doing just fine now
-
Why US Colleges are expensive? Because education is not their first priority.
-
7:28 "Experts say that a consensus has emerged: costs for college are too high" what would we do without the experts' unparalleled sharpness.

I attended a very large public university over a decade ago and all the buildings I had classes in were, all concrete, kinda ugly but in good shape. That's why I was very surprised to learn that a few years ago they knocked most of those buildings down and put up shiny all-glass brand new buildings. What a waste of money and it explains why the costs have gone up so much every year.
-
They showed U Mich's $40k online masters degree as an example of "inexpensive" online degree lol.
-
StateU: We need more taxes Taxpayers: Okay you got your taxes, will tuition go down now? StateU: lol
-
I desperately wish my college would stop investing in recreation and facilities. and focus on their staff and programs and reduced cost.
-
Government should support technical and vocational schools so that students who don’t wish to go to College have other options like they do in Germany.
-
Lol UC Berkeley the biggest scam ever, they “prestigious” but u can’t even talk to a counselor😂
-
Everyone can get a loan, therefore is “willing” to pay a higher fee. Sounds right when it’s luxury product industry. Sounds robbery when it’s education.
-
It's more like 4 years of theme park than collage
-
Easy College loans made it possible for Universities to raise fees, and use that money to build big stadiums, student centres etc.. Shut down the current college student loan program, make state pay for education, fees will start to drop.
-
Education is a business, business is solely concerned with the generation of PROFIT>!
-
DO NOT GO TO COLLEGE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AS A ADULT‼‼ GO TO A COMMUNITY COLLEGE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO IN LIFE
-
I would also start looking at the administrative salaries.
