<p>My point is that there are options for education such as this:

where you can get a college degree for about 20 grand a year, a bit less if you went off campus. They have a very good reputation for things like physical therapy, and I know a couple of comp sci graduates who are doing as well as any in this market. </p>
<p>Similarly, there are other such schools which have a good reputation and placement - eg. IUP in criminology, with a similar cost even before scholarships or grants are factored in:

<p>And yet schools like this struggle to attract enough students simply because there’s easy money to go to the “more desirable” universities as you phrase. I’ve known more than one parent who made their children go to these schools, often in the honors school at an even lower cost, and then they ended up in med school or top tier grad schools. </p>
<p>All I’m saying is we’d be better served not indulging a student’s desire to go to a “cool” campus like NYU by making easy money available and then have to deal schools increasing their tuitions even more and with students demanding the taxpayers pick up the tab because the debts are outrageous. If loans to privates were reigned in, the more cost effective institutions will get more demand, better quality students, and can even expand.</p>
