Could you explain to non-Americans what is the appeal of student loans if they can do this? Why shouldn't people go to cheaper schools to get their degrees instead? I mean no disrespect, if you are rich go to Yale or whatever, by all means.
I went to a really cheap school. My master’s was 40k.
40k? In USD or in Warhammer? Cause that's a shite ton of money for college.
What did you study btw?
Also, I am great full to live in a shit hole country right now given that bill
40kUSD is nothing compared to some STEM degrees - especially at the masters level. PhDs can often be funded and not cost the student though (only in lost time...and mental health...)
