The cost for school in the US is absolutely fucking retarded. Can't believe how much some of you pay to go to school. For what it costs a year for you guys will cost me for my 3 years with room and board included[around 21500]

Ha one of my friend is graduating as a Canadian Major from Plattsburg, also I yeah I spent about 20 hours partying and maybe one hour studying, maybe that is why I got kicked out of college?

Ivy League schools aren't expensive. They're actually the cheapest out there, unless you're already rich as hell, in which case it's not a problem. Pretty stupid to use their tuition as a reference, when the ivies (Yale, for example, like it references) have financial aid policies that make school free for anyone with a family income under $80,000, and make it damn near free for people with incomes above that.

oh shit, im applying for college on Thursday and I was already nervous about it and knew it would be tough but wowww, im fucked. :-(

This was pretty spot on. Especially the careers available to social science majors. :lol:

The part trying to play down Yale is pretty silly. The prestige, doors opened which would otherwise be closed, and income earned over time will obviously be far greater from a yale grad than a large state school. Yale grads get jobs simply because they graduated from Yale.

Well my sister is working on a masters degree in Spain. As bad as the graphic may make it seem, she says that the quality of education in US schools is much better than in Spain. I'm going to generalize and say that if you don't go to a private school in europe you're not really learning

Lol maple syrup class. Maybe my college should have an entire class dedicated to making soy sauce or sambal.

True, but not true. Because then it also brings up the middle class families which are a majority of those who apply to these schools. Yes, schools like Yale offer free tuition for those under a certain family income, but like I said - middle class families suffer the most and are the ones who apply to said schools.

Yeah for reals. No offense 'soft scientists,' but unless you pursue grad school, it's a hardcore struggle.

This. This. This times a million. I wish I would've done this instead of going to a 4-year college straight out of high school. It's crazy too because when I was getting my acceptance letters in 2005, there was this brewing controversy about schools telling students to go to community colleges to save money...Crazy.

That's not true, middle class families have it fine at Yale and other schools with huge endowments. Their financial aid policies are killer. The only families that have it "bad" are the upper class, who would be the only ones actually expected to pay for the whole thing.

What is the point of that chart? Was it designed to actually help anything? Did it suggest any solutions?
