The school I went to from 1988-1992 cost $11k for tuition, room, and board for the first year, by the time I graduated in 1992 it was up to $16k. I went there because it had an excellent rate of acceptance to graduate schools for science majors, but it was a solid 30% cheaper than other "ivy league" type private schools (Penn, etc.) with similar graduate school placement rates which were in the $16-18k range in 1988 if I recall. Even Penn State was $7k/year back then for the tuition, room, and board, so it was a reasonably good deal. Last year it was $45k for the same tuition, room, and board at my old college. That is criminal.

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

I did two years at SBCC before transferring to USC. That really is the way to go.
USC is about 60 a year with room, board etc. So close to what Cabby is talking....so Cabby is talking a decent private school I assume.
I had scholarships and grants up the wazoo....but it still cost me a mint. I graduated with significant debt.
What's important is her degree, that can be done in two years.

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. 
Trying to get her into a private college?
I came out of college smelling like a rose with my BSME degree. Tuition when I graduated in 08 was ~5k/yr. Of course scholarships, grants, etc all paid for it and then some.

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.
We used to be the land everyone wanted to come to. That shining city on the hill.
In Europe they have national health care, free college tuition and beer is served at McDonald's.
America! Home of the free... Er, rich.

You know what's almost worse than the people screwing things up?
The people giving up and crying doom doom doom and gloom.
Don't be an Arglebargle or a Brother_Tampon. We get enough emo poser revolutionary crap from those two simpletons. We don't need another emo noob.
I love America and I will never count her out. Remember, change is always possible in the good 'ol USA.
