Sure. Why should anything cost anything? Why should anyone have to subsidize people getting useless degrees at expensive colleges? Why can't you go to CCs and then state schools for much less? For most people, the modern college experience is just extended high school with almost zero educational value. Most people are more suited to trade schools. The poor kids already have incredible access to scholarships. It's all just "I want it" thinking.

It wouldn't if you get a good paying job. But sometimes the degree doesn't pay out that way and people are left struggling to pay rent, let alone debt.
