I had great classes but I could have gotten the same education without the fluff. I bet without the fluff the cost would have been half or even cheaper.
I simply can’t feel sorry for an industry that yokes 18 year olds with $200k+ in loans for undergraduate degrees, especially in useless subjects. The faster there is consolidation the better.
> As of June 2018, Forbes reported that total US student debt was $1.52 trillion and that 44.2 million people owed debt.[3] The average student debt is $38,390. The median student debt is between $10,000 and $25,000, while 2% of borrowers owe $100,000 or more.

$200k is closer to the kind of debt you'd expect from a medical school graduate.
That may be, but when the 6 year graduation rate is only 60% thats a lot of people paying "still pretty shit" in exchange for actually nothing.
