[quote=Anonymous]My family is a donut hole family.  I understand that these choices are hard.  But the U.S. system has created a pathway for any student that wants a college education to acquire and afford it.  It may mean starting out in CC and working your way through school in the instance of some families (whether for financial or academic reasons).  It also means that the very best/most talented students from families without the means to pay can get free tuition at the nations most select colleges.  It also means that families that can afford to pay for state subsidized universities but not more cannot afford to go to the most elite without making some very hard choices.

We have limited resources to support higher education in this country.  I would like to know what the options for lowering the cost of college are that would not involve nationalizing elite colleges.

What about this problem is not, in fact, a belief by the donut hole families (myself included) that we should be entitled to have these resources priced at the same level as state universities (which, by the way, vary greatly in price).[/quote]
