US Citizens Report High University Costs
A recent poll indicates that less than 25% of Americans currently view a college degree as essential for achieving the American dream. This shift follows a massive increase in tuition, with costs at major private colleges rising tenfold since 1980. The rising expense is driving a political and social divide regarding the value of higher education. A man interviewed on Times Radio UK noted that college has become too expensive to function as a tool for social mobility. He stated that university in the US is often out of reach for many. He added that even those who graduate are frequently trapped in debt for years.
