<p>In any case, as much as I would like to see it, Obama is not going to change the fact that attending a top school is incredibly expensive (sticker price = $120,000+ over four years) and that the majority of low-income and middle-class families are not able to afford that. He can’t make top schools lower their prices, and he can’t make them offer more scholarships and grants to low-income students. I suppose he could try to offer more government coverage to students, but it’s not going to be enough to cover the excess of a Harvard education even if the tuition is waived for a family who can barely afford the airfare to Boston.</p>
