> A big part of what has made college “unaffordable” is not tuition increases, but the idea that people must be full-time students.

Christ, it's like the FLOSS "time-isn't-money" scam got bored and decided to tackle higher education.

Any freshman at a four-year college who can "afford" a part time job along with their studies has the perfect detection system for a low quality education and should make their exit posthaste.

If you read this and think your college days are a counterexample, please allow yourself some time for silent contemplation before responding. (Contemplation-- that endeavor which apparently only gets introduced around graduate school nowadays.)
