Chapter 2 Making connections question 3

Chapter 2 discussed a lot of current trends on college campus, there is one important one that was not mentioned: the cost. There is no denying that the price of college is rapidly increasing each year. Private schools are $60,000 or greater for one year. When this happens for four years that is $240,000 a college student needs o pay. That is more than a lot of houses. Public schools are the same way, yes they are cheaper at around $20,000 a year but they are increasing in price also. This current trend is making college affordable for more and more people, resulting in more people not being able to get well paying jobs in the future.
Middle class families can sometimes send their kid to college, but a lot of times it is a matter of how much financial aid or scholarships the student gets. I think this current trend is unfair and many politician are discussing this problem and formulating ideas to make college cheaper and more affordable,
