Private schools exist on student loans. When students learn they have to pay back the money, they lose interest in the schools. It’s hard to pay back the $100k you borrowed on a Sociology degree.
Private schools offer grants to make your freshman year as cheap as a state school. Then they step up the costs, especially if you don’t keep your grades up.
So true.
My husband didn't finish college until he RESTARTED at 29. He completed his engineering degree at 34, the year we married. He handed me the coupon book of payments. Since he made three-four times more than I did, I didn't mind at all.
Some debt is well worth it.
