<p>Colleges are a large part of our economic equation and so, if prices of food, gas, clothing, housing can go higher and lower, why does college cost, medical cost and residential taxes keep going higher and higher? Lets see how cost impact of the current financial situation will be soon.
Also if one notices, the easy money effect was massive on college admissions too. I noticed that over the last 4 years SAT grade requirements for many schools went sharply higher. This I believe is because many parents got rich as markets went up like crazy and so they could afford to throw money after special SAT classes for their kids. I have heard of kids taking classes with several agencies. This created many imbalances too, many schools with average education increased their SAT requirements and tution fees. Also the college ranking systems are mainly based on students opinions and satisfaction, so now which student would call his school bad is a question? There are many such incosistencies, I would like to know what you all think?</p>
