[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the fault of easy access to loans for domestic students and high demand from international students.
Colleges are more keen to serving international students like in China,Korea, and India that can do full pay. As crazy as it sounds, it's the high rising prices that attracts these type of international students. Colleges have to please their highest bidders which ends up twisting education into a piece of paper representing class status and for these internationals the pricier the better.[/quote]

The interest in bringing in foreign students is to bring in more money.

When state schools raise tuition to cover state funding cuts, private schools can justify raising tuition to differentiate themselves. Another problem besides budget cuts is the corporatization of state and private universities involving CEO level pay for administrators operating a business model and pointless middle mgmt positions.

Demand is pushed up by a lack of vocational education opportunities in HS and as an alternative to college forcing young people to college whether or not they want to or should be there. Another result of state budget cuts to education. Don't complain if you support politicians who cut funding for education. Sadly Republican governors were elected in the majority of states, many by people who wanted to save a couple hundred dollars in taxes. Sorry to bring politics in but it is not a mysterious accident that tuition has mushroomed and we can all do something about it. Having a federal govt that is hostile to science is also problematic if funding for science gets cut. Grants from those funding sources fund universities--not just the science but also the overhead that keeps universities running. If that drops, tuition increases can make up the difference.
