In the article, “ The Largest Predatory Lender in America” by Kevin Cochrane makes valid arguments against our government itself and reason for increased student debt. The title itself explains the overall concept of the article and is ironic because The U.S acts like a “predator” looking for their next victim and preferably which are low income minority borrowers. An organization that targets a certain population would typically be investigated under the government but in this case it’s our government itself. There are many arguments on the increasing tuition for students attending college in the U.S.…

But for people who would like to just go to an out-of-state college, Harvard for example the average tuition for that is $22,958. Without a scholarship or the money to afford this people can drop out. Further more why should in state colleges not be free at all? If they were spots that would go to the person that cares and would like to learn is given to those who do not even care and would rather not learn.…
The admission prices for universities have skyrocketed drastically. These prices are unnecessary and prevent people from getting a proper education. If it costs too much to go to college, then there will be less people attending, or even applying. If the prices are this high, then the kids that don’t have enough money to go won’t have any reason to persevere through high school. They know they won’t be able to attend college, so they give up well in advance.…

The price of college has risen substantially in the last three decades; the average car would cost more than $80,000 if the inflation was equivalent to college tuition (Campos). According to a College Entrance Examination Board called College Board , “The average cost of tuition and fees at a private, non-profit, four-year university…was $31,231—up sharply from $1,832 in 1971 to 1972 (in current dollars).

That means they’ll get stuck working at McDonald’s. The rise in college fees has been an issue for many years now and it haunts millions of Americans. Not only is college extremely expensive, but the fees just keep increasing.…

Many students cannot afford to attend college, and some decide not to attend because they cannot afford it. According to research about college costs, a public two-year college like Murray State College is estimated to cost $3,440 yearly for tuition and fees minimal compared to universities (Smith). The state and government should implement a way to make college cheaper by offering more scholarships, raise the cut off for financial aid, make the interest rate for student loans cheaper, and make the classes cost less.…
