Searching for college for my daughter and it is stupid how much these places want.
I get a financial aid offer letter and they're all "WE'RE GIVING YOU $23,000 IN AID!" and I'm like "WELL ALLLLLLLLLRIGHT!" and then the letter goes on to say that after that there is a balance of $18,000 per year and how would I like to pay for that?
$41,000/year for college? Sorry guys. I don't think so.
Looks like the first two years of college will be taken at an extension close to home.

Community college is the way to go unless you get a full ride IMO. At least for the first year.

It won't be long now until healthcare and college education is only for wealthy people. We are marching, once again, towards the lords and the serfs. Guess which category many of use fall into.

I put three sons through college. I'm on my last one now. He is 10 years younger than the middle brother. I personally put a mortgage on my own home to put myself through USC. My mom and pop did not help me.

yeah, it was really "libtards" that did that.
p.s. you clearly have no concept of the history of higher education in this country

I'm going back to University this fall and I do not have to worry about this crap, because it's all paid for by the government.. Now this also means that if I've finished about half a year worth of courses I can apply to any EU nation and study there instead.. Or the US and I'll just have to pay the plane ticket 
Now if I was poor this would be pretty damn awesome because it would mean that I could go to school either way and better myself and become middle class, instead of being stuck in a ghetto with no future but drugs and crime. Our system means that we can take a resource and not squander it and there is one less poor person that will cost our state a shitload of money.
Too bad your system is broken and only caters to those who have, and it seems to be putting Cabby in the poorhouse. I can't but smirk
