Most state schools are very affordable if you live in that state. I was able to pay $1900 a semester to attend a state school. Schools like Harvard and such are private and can charge whatever they want as they don't receive the same kind of aid.
Here is where governments and educators must fight and not in wars, to find the way to encourage the most people as possible to get a high education. Education is something basic for us, so it not good to think if you can pay go for it but i cant fuck you. This problem is in all the countries, but getting access to a not too expensive education helps to encourage people to study. For you must have the opportunity to spend you money in private schools.
