@bud123, I agree that just getting accepted to top universities is extremely difficult for low income students. Therefore, I have to disagree that the cost of higher education hits upper middle class students the hardest. If they can’t afford a top 20, they can likely go to a top 50 or a top 100 residential college. It’s not a tragedy to have to settle for their 3rd, or even 5th, choice. The point is that they have a choice. Some low income students find finances to be a barrier to any kind of advanced education. There’s no such thing as a “dream school” for them. A school is the dream.
