College Tuition vs. The Budget

<p>After being on this site for just a few days, I’ve learned a lot and know I have much more to learn. I’m very glad I discovered CC at this point in my HSD’s Junior year. One thing I’ve been wondering about is why are college expenses so high? If all of these colleges are giving merit scholarships, financial aid, etc., doesn’t it show that something is wrong with this picture? I’m sure there is a reason (way beyond me) that this system developed over the years, but it seems a bit crazy to me!</p>
