I really wish that college tuition was not so outrageously expensive. Over the past 15 years, college tuition costs have risen to rates that have never been seen before in the past. People are graduating college with huge amount of student loan debt that has interest rates that make the actual cost of college higher than what is originally on paper. Student loans, if not paid, can ruin your credit and will also stay with you until the day you die if not paid off sooner. Sure there is financial aid and scholarships available, but people are still graduating college with absurd amounts of debt that will take decades to be paid off. Student loans can hurt your chances of getting a loan for a new car and house later on in life. College should not so expensive that it is merely a dream for most people like it is today. $27,000 a year to attend Michigan State University to me seems outrageous and unfair. Who can afford that? I believe that is college was more affordable that more people would be able to receive education and this would better our overall economy.
