The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

[SunnySide]

College costs are just insane.

Wish State schools took more in state students vs prioritizing out of state tuition. You live in Maryland but UMD defers you bc they prioritize out of state tuitions from NJ/NY. Flip side, Nj/NY kid gets deferred by Rutgers bc they prioritize out of state tuitions from MD.

So NJ/NY kid pays 50k a year to go to MD, MD kid pays 50k a year to go to Rutgers.

Colleges get more money. Student lenders get more money.

Parents and kids get straddled with decades of debt.

I know we all cant be born into the billionaire Swanson food family but at least we should take their advice on "boot straps" and "hard work" from them.

-----------------

College costs and health care .... we need some real solutions. College cant just be for the elite and international.

Our kids get told to go to community college for 2 years .. so rich out of state and international kids can enjoy the "american college experience".
