WHY does college cost so much? And where can I get some money to help pay for it? Those two questions turn out to be intimately and perversely related.
College is expensive because we are willing to pay for it. This is true for first-generation college students struggling through state universities and for statusobsessed children of Upper Suburbia burdening themselves and their families with serious debt as they press onward and upward through Princeton (school motto: “You would not believe how much this costs!”) or Haverford (school motto: “No, not Harvard—Haverford!”).
