Why is it so ******* expensive to go to college?

Question

College expenses are to the point where it is almost impossible for anyone to get a higher education. Not everyone is made of money. And I can't get a ******* loan because of my parents financial mistakes. What kind of bullshit is that? Did the government ever think that if tuition was cheaper, more people would go to school after they graduate? No, they didn't. I don't think that they give a d**n. If they did, they would do something about the ******* prices and make it more affordable for poor people that want a ******* education. Not all of us depend upon Welfare, or some **** like that. What do you think?

P.S.- Sorry about the lanuguage. I am just so pissed with our government right now.

Answer 1

I know it especially sucks for those in the middle.  I think you should try a community college because its cheaper and then transfer.  Also, try for scholarships.  If worst comes to worst then maybe you will need to take a yr off and work like h**l and save up.

Answer 2

Your not the only one frustrated. But such is life. And like adding insult to injury, EVERYTHING is getting to be really expensive.

But complaining won't really get us anywhere. The only productive thing we can do is take action to what we can control.

In terms of financing for your college, applying for scholarships is probably the most productive course of action for you. It's not easy to win scholarship awards. You need to prepare and do good with your applications (and sometimes in your interviews). It takes dedication and hard work.

But success in the real world requires hard work, so you really have nothing to lose if you apply for scholarship awards. Consider this experience as a form of training for the real world.

Anyone can get a federal loan regardless of your credit (as long as you haven't defaulted on any previous student loans).  Your parents credit won't have anything to do with it.  They are called Stafford loans and freshman can borrow up to 5500 a year... even more if you are independent or at a higher classification.
