"President Obama offers plan to make colleges more affordable and accountable"
Blog #3
A recent issue has been brought about college and why many middle class people can't afford it. At the University of Buffalo in upstate New York , Obama gave a speech about college and it's investment. At the speech he said ;" At a time when a higher education has never been more important or more expensive, too many students are facing a choice that they should never have to make. Either they say no to college and pay the price for not getting a degree -- and that's a price that lasts a lifetime -- or you do what it takes to go to college, but then you run the risk that you won't be able to pay it off because you got so much debt." . Right now this issue has been very problematic. I know many students who would love to attend college but they just cant pay so much money so instead they give up and go straight to get a miserable job where they will get paid eight dollars an hour. Students now are given the option of loans however that scares many of them because they fear they won't be able to pay it off. According to recent investigations the tuition for colleges has risen 250 percent over the last three decades. What that means is today a big percent of students end up graduating college with a big junk of money that they owe. The problem in America is higher education is the only way you can survive to be economically good that's why its so important for the new generations to go to college. In Obama's plan he wants to create a new rating system for colleges and universities both public and private that would link federal dollars to school's affordability and performance. If the plan passes and congress accepts it more students will be able to graduate college with not so much loan money on their pockets. In today's world higher education will be the single best investment you can make for your future.
