Actually it would not cost as much as you would think, if we did it like the Germans. First off, university is not for everyone in Germany, like it seems to be in the USA. Only the top students get to enroll, the rest are off to work or vocational school. If we implemented this system here, I would be safe in estimating that state universities would probably cost the taxpayer less than they do now. You would save on the money wasted on students who do not belong in college anyway, a majority of current students I would bet. The German system can never be implemented in the US. Imagine parents in the suburbs being told that Little Johnny is only a C and B student, so college is out of the question for him, please take a look at this brochure for AC maintenance school. There would be riots in every suburb from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
