Comment on a Colleague's Work

I completely agree with Anna and her blog pertaining to the seemingly never-ending rise of college tuition. Students are paying incredible amounts to achieve their main goal- to graduate from college. The drawback is that most students are going to be paying off loans for practically the first half of their career. It is scary because tuition is only going to continue to rise, which brings your future children's tuition in to mind. Once you've finally paid all of your college loans off, you then have to start working on finding a way to pay for your kid's! By that time who knows what schools will be asking.

Even though the payments are benefiting the institution, schools are still asking too much. It's discouraging to students and is one of the main reasons they can't obtain a degree.
