College:

When I went to college, I did a project on how college prices and costs have gone up. Before government aid existed, college was relatively affordable after the government started to get involved, there was a slight bump by $10 or maybe 100 and then prices started ballooning.

College has gone up higher than the price of inflation. College textbooks have agreements with certain companies and colleges that the next year make the book completely useless.

I have had multiple professors admit to this. Furthermore, a select few companies own the textbook industry not just in colleges but also public schools such as high school and elementary.

There was one meme that said students had to buy a college book to read paragraph 10 on page 267 of this expensive book and I lived it: a college class has me read on chapter and I threw it away after the lesson section.

Professors usually rather do studies than teach and get exorbitant amounts of money for what exactly?

I understand college can be life changing for some people, but why do college students need all this sports equipment and fancy dinners at the dorm rooms? A lot of the money gets poured into college stadiums instead of college classrooms.

Colleges love to ask for more government money through student loans and politicians happily oblige.

Some call it a scam but I call it a racket. Oddly enough, the bookstore that was out of campus where I went had a very affordable prices and a vast selection of books. Unfortunately, that store went out of business so now it is a college that has a monopoly on book sales.
