American University Should Seriously Consider Lowering...

The price of a Soft Taco Supreme at Taco Bell is $1.49. The price of attending New York University (NYU) is about $61,997 (Jacobs, 2013). That is approximately 41,609 Soft Taco Supremes from Taco Bell, enough to feed someone for 38 years if they ate one for every meal. While most universities in the USA do not cost quite as much as NYU, tuition is still very high, even for in-state public schools. If tuition continues to rise, the amount of students that cannot afford to go to college will increase, and these students will not be able to achieve their full potential. Because of this, colleges and universities in America, particularly public colleges, need to reconsider the cost of tuition. One of the wonderful aspects about college is that students are able to choose what college they want to go to, as opposed to being districted to a specific school, as many students are for high school. Potential students have the opportunity to browse schools based on options such as their major, what type of school they want to go to, and location. Now, however, more students are increasingly choosing their schools because of price. Because of this, some students may not get the most out of their education. Many students forego going to a school specialized or focused on their program due to the high costs associated with it. Students fear becoming burdened with debts and not receiving enough financial aid, and choose to go to affordable schools over their â€Å"dream school.† (Medrano,Show MoreRelatedIkeas Organizational Behavior8907 Words   |  36 Pagesits product.
