College Costs? Out Of Control?

Posted by cowboys

I was surfing the Internet like I usually do and I thought I would look over a story about the Top Colleges in the United States. Looking over the list the Top 5 is really what you would expect. Below is the list of the Top 5:

  1. Princeton
  2. Harvard
  3. Yale
  4. Stanford
  5. Califorina Institute of Technology

Tha average costs in tuitons and fees for these collges is a little over 30,000 dollars. Average room and board runs around 10,000 dollars. Nice little bill for a single mother or father to have to shell out isn’t it. Education has really become expensive and I can see why many students are so in debt as they have to take out student loans to help pay for the costs. It’s a shame that it has come down to this. One of the richest countries in the world is putting our future decision makers in such a deep hole I don’t know how they will get out of it.

As a single parent I just hope things will change in the future and give our kids a fighting chance. I know there are grants and scholarships which help out. How about the kids that can’t afford that? I know where they go to McDonalds or the local grocery stores to take low paying jobs. It’s a shame we have come to that but a fact of life.
