The prices are that high because most college kids are spoiled brats whose parents will send them endless supplies of money with which to do what they want. The people whose parents are <I>not</I> paying for their college are the people who are getting scammed. Most universities fail to include reasonable prices for those who get federal loans and then STILL don't have enough money to pay for tuition alone (me). The whole FAFSA system is fucked up anyway. Even if your parents aren't paying for your college, they still base how much grants/loans you get on your parents' income. So I get no grants, not enough loans, and still have extra costs like books and parking permits even though I'm not getting a free ride from my parents.
