College May Become Unaffordable for Most in U.S(The New York Times)

According to the"College May Become Unaffordable for Most in U.S(The New York Times)", The rising cost of college- even before the recession- threatens to put higher education out of reach for most Americans, according to the biennial report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education.



My Reaction:
Now to enter a college is not a difficult problem for student in Taiwan because the rate of enrollment is getting higher and higher. Getting a Bachelor Degree is not unusual anymore. Not like Taiwan, graduating from a college or university is not an easy matter in western countries since they are high education schools. Most of them are hard to apply and also hard to graduate from. Their goals are to cultivate talents in the fields. After they graduate, they are able to contribute their specialties to our society or maybe put what they have learned in use in other relative fields. The cost of the tuition is not cheap because colleges have to devote more mental and physical efforts than senior or junior high schools do. Besides, they sustain great responsibilities to educate our descendents.

I think the government should figure out more solutions to the issue. Owing to the recession of economy, colleges must take some steps to sustain their position and living. However, students in low-income families will be affected by the movement. Their rights to get higher education and change their positions by studying are invaded. Thus, Banks are supposed to give low-interest loans to those students so that they can keep learning and be advantageous. (236 words)
