<p>Yes, at the state level, state universities are subsidized. And yes, for many students thats satisfactory. But for my major, UF isn’t a good university. For my major, no school in florida is satisfactory. Yes, universities are subsidized, but only at the state level, not nationally. </p>
<p>That leaves a lot of students like myself, middle class folk, who are excluded from a better education because of their class. Because of the family they were born to, the state they were born in.</p>
<p>I was accepted to Amherst! Williams! Shouldn’t that be enough! Yes, I was stupid, I had no help from my parents, no help from an older sibling. I didn’t know I couldn’t go if I was accepted. I’m just a suburban teenager, who’s never had a job, who’s been pampered all his life. </p>
<p>But I god damn well deserve to go to Amherst and capitalism is responsible, income inequality is responsible, for pushing me out of Amherst.</p>
