College Tuition

A college degree is a necessity to survive in today's world, but why does it cost so much to receive one?

The cost of going to college continue to rise every year. Colleges should have cheaper tuition because once students graduate, many have a hard time paying back their loans. Interest rates on student loans should also be reduced. Tuition is the majority of cost for college, but various fees add up to a significant amount. With your help, maybe in the future students wouldn't have to pay all those fees.

 I'm not asking for college to be free, just affordable. If college is affordable, it will help students learn how to be financially responsible after college while they are paying back less loans. Student debt has grown over $1 trillion. Cheaper tuition will help this number go down, but we can start with cheaper books and less fees.

Sincerely,
