So, basically, I shouldn't be able to go to college. Thanks.

Careful, step back from the personalization of the issue. Surely you don't think you're entitled to post-secondary education. Not even all the rich kids whose parents pay all expenses get accepted, and their sense of entitlement is probably stronger than even yours.

So, you can't afford something you want at the time? What are we discussing here? The reasons why the economics of post-secondary tuition is out of whack, or how you've benefitted from a corrupt system?

I don't think I'm entitled, no, but I don't see anything wrong with private lending (which is what the loans I have are) and scholarships.
