“Out-of-state tuition, room, board, and fees for Wisconsin run more than $48,000 this year. “
Simple answer, if he can’t afford it, he doesn’t go there... going 200,000 into debt for a 4 year degree is insane.
Just because you get accepted somewhere, doesn’t mean you have to go there, or that its the best fit. If the tuition per year is roughly the median household income in America the price is too damned high to justify.
“going 200,000 into debt for a 4 year degree is insane.”
I agree. The prospect of a mountain of debt had a lot to do with my choice to graduate high school, get married to a good man, and start a family. My old friends are only now starting their careers and maybe in fifteen years they might be able to afford a baby. Assuming they ever find an actual man.
I might be a grandmother by then. That’d be much nicer than a diploma on the wall of a quiet, lonely house.
