first off, let me explain: so here in austria, studying is free for anyone who is qualified through high school or a specific exam.

the downsides are clear:

A LOT of people study since they are bored or just wanna have a nice time. you receive financial aid for studying, so if your courses arent taking you more than twice as long as supposed, your normally not in problems.

because soo much people enter, courses get more and more difficult. its obvious, if you got 1000 people battle for good grades instead of 500, you can raise the overall level and you will still have the same number of people receiving good grades.

the advantages are also clear:

everyone, also people from poorer regions/families can study on a university which has a good name in europe.

with the financial aid, you normally wont have to work besides and finish the courses in close-to-supposed times.

SO THE US???

well honestly, how does it work? the costs for a freaking semester are immense. ok, its depending on the "image" and quality of the university, but from what i heard, spending like 10000 $ per semester isnt a big deal, rite?

to earn 10000 $ beside university yourself seems unreal, i mean honestly, why would you study if you can earn ~2000 $ per month part-time?

from what i heard/what i think it only can be parents. but i dunno if alot of parents have 100000 $ per child to send them to university. they got to pay houses, cars, insurances, nutrition, energy and so on.

with all that i have to ask: are only

1. spoiled rich kids &

2. kids with scholarships or

3. people making debts like hell

on american universities?????
 
Yes.

If that end part was your question, then you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I, for one, am making debts like hell, which is going to suck in a few years. But there's plenty of rich kids at my school, and definitely at other schools.

 
It's pretty easy to understand that earning potential and job diversity skyrocket with a college degree. Not everyone does it for money, there are a lot of amazing jobs that require college degrees.

As for the cost, anyone who wants to go to college can do it if they try. It's been proven by a lot of amazing, hard working people.
 
thx for that precise criticism of my writing abilities. it will help me a lot to improve my english.

naah, just joking, i know that there are mistakes all over..

(but in fact, i think ns helped me a lot with my english final, i got a B without doing anything for it)
 
my college was 28,000 a year in just tuition. i am in debt up to my eyeballs! haha. well its no that bad. i did get grants and scholarships and stuff. but i have about 20,000 in loans, i pay about 200 a month for the next like 50 years. and my parents are in debt too. they have like 3 mortgages on the house and stuff and like 50,000 worth of credit card debt to put me and my lil sis through college.
 
it varies, but it's going to cost a good bit of money, but some people like their fancy private universities, and consequently pay up the ass in tuition. Or they go out of state, which can also be pretty astronomical, relatively speaking.

the government can help out for those who need it

there are scholarships for those who want em (i gots me scholarships)

there are parents who pay for it, but I only know a few people personally that have that happen.

then there is the debt road. Could well be worth it, but private school or grad school debt can rack up. I know a guy (kinda) that has about 250 grand. Ridiculous.

In the end, if you want college education in the US, there are many ways to obtain it.
 
I pay something like 18000 a year. How I afford college:

1. I take out the max amount of student loans that I can through the university (based on the FAFSA).

2. My grandparents pitch in 3000 per semester.

3. My parents pay whatever is left over.

It works out to about 1/3 per person.
