It's barely known that the best universities in the world are in the us, but only a few people can go there. So, the high education its exclusive only for the people who can afford the universities fees or for some lucky people with scholarship grants. So have the best people there doesn?t mean you are like them

I don't agree with that statement at all. The "can't afford college" route has been used as an excuse or crutch by many who didn't go. Yes, college is expensive. Paying for the top minds is expensive and providing a high level of education with the top of the line technology is too.
Nonetheless, I've never seen someone not be able to acquire financial aid to attend schools. Whether it's grants, scholarships, federal loans, or private school loans, there is always a way of getting the money to go to college. Banks practically throw money at you when you are that age. Yes, going to Harvard is expensive as shit and you will end up with a crapload of school loans. But a degree from Harvard usually guarantees you'll end up with a pretty sweet job.
Yes, college is expensive. So is buying a car, house, or anything else in life. I went to college with no money at all and was able to get loans and even earn some scholarships through working hard. I had school loans when I got out, but worked hard and paid them off. If I could do it, why can't others?
