I have little sympathy for those who sign a contract stating they will repay their loans, and then chose not to do so. Many people who are in default pay nothing towards their debt, indicating they have no intention in making lifestyle changes to repay their obligations.

Tuition prices should reflect the actual cost to provide the education, meaning that a science class with expensive lab equipment should cost much more than a writing class.

When I have children, I will not feel obligated to pay for their post-secondary education. Perhaps I will contribute towards it, but they better not expect it from me. If they are sufficiently motivated, they will achieve their goals regardless of my contribution.

I graduated HS with a 2.3 GPA and have a criminal record. If I can do well in the land of opportunity, nearly anyone can.
