There have been many disagreements about college being just for the privileged. College may have been for the privileged centuries ago but not today. There are different types of colleges, costs, and financial help. The two main types of colleges are community colleges and universities. In my opinion they are both great types of schools it just depends on what you can afford and which is more convenient for you. Author of “Two Years Are Better than One”, Liz Addison believes that community colleges are better than other types of colleges. Addison argues “For some students, from many backgrounds, would never breathe the college experience if it were not for the community college” [258]. Community colleges accept…
Everyone who wants to go to college is often faced with the same fact, how will I pay? Students often go with the options of taking loans, after much consideration and research, research sometimes based on essays written by authors. Even though Carey and Wilson both address the debt college could put someone in. Wilson provides a more convincing argument due to the fact that he gives more information on statistics of student loans, more information about loans, and an unbiased opinion.…
The student debt in the United States alone is in the trillions. According to Forbes and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the student loan debt is between 902 billion and 1.2 trillion (How). Since the economy took a plunge in 2008, a big issue is that not enough graduates are able to find job opportunities that can help pay off their debt, and on top of that support themselves independently. “Americans who received bachelor’s degrees in 2008 were roughly twice as likely to be unemployed after a year than were their peers who graduated in 1993 and 2000…(Inside).” The supply and demand of employment is slim and fiercely competitive. Of those that had the opportunity to get a job, 27 percent of them reported that it was unrelated to the degree…
Obama student loan forgiveness act is an edit on an older program called “Direct Loan Program” Signed by Obama in 2010. Only the federal loans are prone to the advantages & constructed by Obama student loan forgiveness act. The private loans are not prone to these changes nor to these jurisdictions. With a top notch political maneuver, Obama managed to give subsidies to private lending institutions. Borrowers now are qualified to pay 10% of their discretionary wage; Not only that, but new borrowers are prone to forgiveness after 20 years, and not 25 years. Money will be used for the greater good, like improving education, and to fund the poor and the minorities.…
“The decision to borrow to attend college often amounts to a “financial disaster”. “Most people borrow a reasonable amount of money, they pay it back, and they are better for having gone to college”, says McPherson in the Reading of Robin Wilson. But then Wilson states “Why do some students borrow more than $40,000 for a bachelor’s degree when average borrowing is only half that?” The decisions of borrowing money only end up a financial disaster depending on the college student. If the college student takes a loan and flunks the college course, they will end up taking up another loan for the same course again. Wasting time and making them having to pay more loan money in the…
Student loans are a savior and a demon put together into one by the government. On one side student loans have numerous amounts of pros that shine a golden light on the loans making them look as if they are a savior to humanity. Some of these prospects include the hassle free process it takes to actually get a student loan, the boost of your credit score if you can pay it off in the allotted time, and they open up the opportunity for anyone to go to college. On the other side of the spectrum student loans are horrible plagues on society. The student loans can be bad in the cases of putting the person in extreme debt, ruining their credit if the person cannot pay, and even ruining the person’s mental health.…
Not all students should go to college because college can often cost more than it is worth. College tuition has risen at a significantly higher rate than inflation in the previous generation. With student loan debt having passed one trillion dollars recently, one must ask…
Another for difficult and less glamorous way of getting through college without student debt is duel enrolment, a program that allows students to be enrolled in two separate, academically related institutions. Most of the time it refers to high school students who have decided to take college classes. All states except for Alaska, New Hampshire, and New York have a statewide policy in place allowing high school students to enroll in state or community colleges. It allows qualified high school students to receive a scholarship for a specific amount of credits per semester, credits that can be transferred to different colleges and universities after they graduate high school. This way students can get credit for college classes so they may not…
As a senior in high school you most likely know if you want to go to college. What you don’t know is how much debt you are going to be in years after you graduate from college. Low income students receive some type of aid, but it is not enough. Colleges tell you that they will pay for your education if you…
College tuition debts burden graduates well into late life. Student loans can inhibit college graduates from starting the life they worked hard for. If the government paid for a college education, our country would be more educated and become more successful. Currently, scholarships give underprivileged students the opportunity that wealthy students currently have. In a metaphorical sense, education is priceless. College should be free because young students are affected by debt that affects as a whole.…
Student loans have spiraled out of control within the last few decades and this is negatively impacting our society. The average of obtaining a degree at a public four-year college is $9,300 and has been steadily rising by four percent since 1985. This trend is most likely going to continue the way it is and all the while the median family income remains stagnant or even slightly decreasing. This has led the students of today to take out more loans and just keep adding onto the growing student debt bubble. This early debt can take a heavy toll on any savings for retirement, plans for homeownership, or a possible rainy day fund. Students today will become the engine that runs this country and student loans make it next to impossible to make it out into the real world.…
On average, most people graduate college with a student loan debt of over $20,000. The source of this debt is not only for tuition fees, but also credit card payments as well. It is likely that after graduating from college, a person would spend a good portion of their life paying off that debt. The average cost of attending college and university has not only increased, but so has living costs. With living being so costly, it is natural to seek to do higher paying jobs. However, just paying for tuition can make a person deep in debt.…
The Bank and colleges try furiously to lighten the load on student through Bank loans and Pell grants and these programs indeed make college more accessible to minorities but on the other hand they can offer detrimental results because there is always a constant pressure for you to pay back the loan and that can affect one’s academic performance. The last three years student debt has surpassed credit card and auto loans debt with an estimated 35 trillion dollars. College is like a politician, it shows off some good rhetoric promise but in the end shows no good results. Student’s labor for years…
