Regarding your second comment, regardless, that doesn't change the fact of what is happening. You seem to be tone deaf. We are all entitled to our opinions, but I am simply stating what is happening and why. There are numerous articles out that show that the younger generations are staying at home longer, or if they do move out, they move back in because they can't afford to live on their own.
No people CAN afford to live out of their parents house. Millions are doing so everyday. You are just part of the problem making constant excuses. It's called money management and independence. It's why your generation is so spoiled, entitled and all about me me me.
If they are waitlisted they start the next semester. You're making it seem like people are waitlisted therefore can't attend at all and have to go to another school and pay 60K a year.
Common man. Simply put people CAN go to school cheaper if they want. There is no need to go 6 figures in debt. People who are are choosing to.
There's no more open enrollment so CUNYs are a lot harder to get into than they used to be. So it's not as if everyone who applies is going to get in. But unfortunately CUNYs also have a pretty high drop out rate, so it's a lot easier to get in by transferring after attending a year or 2 of community college.
This thread is a perfect example of why I hardly post anymore.
The OP asked for advice on buying instead of renting in their early 20's, folks came in and gave reasons on why they shouldn't and why they should. Sounds reasonable enough...
Then came about 5 pages of bickering back and forth while OP done checked out since the first page and somehow it ended up talking about colleges??
Makes a good popcorn munching read though.
