British parents are finally starting to learn what American parents have known for years: It costs a lot to send a kid to college.. I have to say that I don’t feel a hell of a lot of sympathy, though, since I’m carrying about $30G in debt myself. It’d be damn nice if my parents had been able to foot the entire bill, but I don’t know anybody in my town that could’ve afforded such a thing (unless you went to the local community college). I guess it does suck, though, that countless generations of British students before have been given grants, and suddenly now everybody has to pay. I can’t help but think it’s going to have an effect on the number of kids going on to higher education…
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
