When you invovle a middleperson for high education, that increase the overall tution of the college. I understand I probably do not have a choice in my current situation as a returning college student, but why is it even more expensive for attending college? Based on my research, Every year, the price of tution goes up by 5%. Soon, in a short period of time, there will be lack of attendence of these colleges, because of their high expenses. What makes these student loan banks and colleges assume that some people are wiling to pay for that, if they are better off working 1 or 2 full time jobs? Thank you ESchool.
