Even during a crisis, colleges abuse their economic and reputational privileges
One can only shake his head when you hear about how things work in America.<p>Why are you so hostile against each other and&#x2F;or the weaker&#x2F;younger&#x2F;non-wealthy people?<p>In most of Europe, education is free. You&#x27;ll obviously have to take care of your own cost of living, but there are no real fees where you come out of your education and have 100k in debt.<p>Why do things in America work so different? It&#x27;s not (yet) a third world country, it could probably easily finance things like these for its residents. But instead you milk your youth, leave them with debt and shrug your shoulders about things like these?<p>Why?<p>(free = Universities in Germany have what is called &quot;Semesterbeitrag&quot;. This varies but for my university it was like 700 €&#x2F;year and you would get free transportation in NRW with that and more benefits.)
