How in the world did tuition get so inflated to begin with?
I went to college in 1995 and we thought it was expensive then. I went the CC/state school with scholarships and a part time job and a generous family route and I feel extremely lucky I never needed student loans.
My father was able to put himself through pharmacy school while supporting a wife and eventually a family as a weekend clerk in a pharmacy in the mid 60s.
I'm hoping that with more schools doing complete degrees via distance learning that it might reduce costs. Surely they're saving money not having to heat/cool/maintain as many buildings and other campus expenses?
