You have the wrong idea because of the headline prices of elite schools. Yes, the prices are high.

On the other hand, no-one who is admitted to (say) Harvard is going to be prevented from going by an inability to pay. These top schools are rich enough to fund need-based scholarships.

Nobody's "unable to pay" so long as there are government-backed undischargable loans on offer.
