What about the children of poorer families who don't have the luxury of going to college. The above would be fine if parents/students were paying the full cost of the facilities, but in most cases its government/charity subsidized.

I'm British so the government paid the vast majority of my University fees. The rest were paid for by government loans, which I am now paying back.
It really is possible for poorer families to have kids in University in Britain. It's a shame that isn't true everywhere.
