The schools know that everyone will be able to get the loans and federal grants to pay for it and will continue to raise it until it gets maxed out. The university honestly doesn't care that their students will be paying on their loans well into their 40's or that their parents had to take out a second mortgage to get them into that school. A lot of schools are now making it extremely hard for instate students to get accepted, they'd rather take an out of state student that pays three times as much in one semester than an instate pays in a year.

Would you support an in part, publicly funded, not for profit university system like we have up here in Canada?
