Here is the thing. A lot of people are not ready for college at the age of 18 and don't know what they want out of life. It is important to work for a few years and see the real world before making such a huge financial commitment. I wouldn't make my son or daughter basically take out a mortgage at the age of 18 and don't know anything about life. Go work and come back with a fresh perspective for a few years.

Amen!! I was a TF kid unlike many of my peers @ the the time…( generationally old family $$$). But my highschool graduating peers didn’t know I was a TF kid. Bc I was instructed not to discuss what my family in all of its generations net value were worth . So as TF kid I was “ informed” that I had a security blanket ( the established TF to rely on IF I wanted to go to college when the time the came. Here’s the thing, bc I was a TF kid though, I didn’t LIVE like a TF kid. In other words my family & I blended in with the society around us. We drove ford/Toyota family vehicles; we lived in a modest middle class suburban neighborhood & I attended all: public, private, and even parochial schools throughout my life. I CaME from a TF family but We WEREnT living the “ Princeton SNOBBERY “ aka: Bougie lifestyle that is exposed & acknowledged here.

Completely agree. And also, not every kid is geared toward college. Some go to trade schools. This idea that you HAVE to go to college and that a degree=success is a LIE we have been force fed. Unless to you buy into the idea that money=success. There are people in the world with first class education, degree(s) on their walls and huge amounts of money in the bank and are still the most unhappy, unfulfilled people on the planet...regardless of their race. People have to decide what's right for them and that doesn't always mean having college experience with a degree.

@@jjjjjjjjooolllllllllll8395 When you, de facto, have to catch up with so many things first before even being able to follow, understand & cope with the curriculum of your age group, where ever you happen to be living, you have to, deliberately, make a choice, take a decision, of either you give up - on yourself - or you watch and face what's doable in the same amount of time as anybody else, or as your circumstances give/let you have, if you decide to bet on yourself and acknowledge that you are no less worthy than your neighbour in the classroom or somebody you are a fan of, to make the efforts it'll take. You said "childhood" where you actually meant "innocence", or a certain kind of ""carefree attitude" that goes with youth. Well, it's true for all kinds of kids, faced with all kinds of hardship, problem, difference : they have to suddenly become deliberate, more engaged, and become actors of their own lives... And, the rest, i think, is a matter of temper, and of each human's level of resilience, which also is said to be a trait of youth...

[@AS-kf1ol]

These schools only accept ~5% of applicants, so good grades isn't enough. It's amazing to see how they are rethinking their values. The point is that they are recontextualizing what makes an applicant stand out to help admissions staff understand that there is value in things other than legacy, extra curriculars, travel abroad, etc. which is what used to give kids a leg up. Now working to help support your family can also be equally as valued. Getting good grades while living in poverty or coming from a single parent household is a hell of an accomplishment and should be treated as such.

Payments have also been reduced from 10 percent to 5 percent of discretionary income. people making under 32,000 will pay zero per month and will count as payment towards the 20 year forgiveness clause.

From Homeless Teen To Stetson Graduate May 22, 2020 As a homeless 15-year-old, Arielle Metzger stood beside the old truck that served as home for her family in 2011 and told CBS “60 Minutes” that education “is everything to us.” “I plan to be a child defense lawyer,” she said on the national news program. “If I focus on my studies, I have that opportunity.” This month, she graduated from Stetson University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a 3.35 GPA. Her name has since been changed to Autumn Johnson. But she still plans to apply to law school and become an advocate for children, after her wedding to her longtime boyfriend. Her journey over the past nine years is a moving story set into motion by a mere coincidence, or providence, as she now sees it. Just days after completing her undergraduate degree, she was interviewed on campus for “CBS This Morning” and the segment will air Tuesday, May 19, during the 8 a.m. hour. Her story began with the Great Recession of 2008 when her family joined the wave of people losing their homes to foreclosure. Her father, a carpenter and handyman in Central Florida, had been hit hard in the economic downturn. Her mother had passed away in early 2000. When the family lost their home in May 2010, her father bought the old truck for $1,000 on Craigslist. He moved into it with Autumn, her younger brother and their meager possessions. Home was wherever he could find an inconspicuous place to park the truck in the Sanford area. A Second-hand T-shirt Back then, a local church would set up every Thursday at the Sanford Civic Center beside scenic Lake Monroe to feed the homeless. The church also put out second-hand clothing, folded, stacked in piles and available for free to people in need. In one stack, Autumn spotted a green-and-gray Stetson University T-shirt. “I found it,” she recalled, “along with a Yale shirt, at the bottom of a pile of clothes.” The Yale shirt was too small. But the Stetson shirt was the right size and her favorite color: green. “I immediately loved it because it was a baseball T-shirt and I was very much a tomboy,” she said. Around the same time, a state social worker received a report of a family living in a truck in the parking lot of the Lake Mary YMCA. The social worker found the family and questioned them about their living situation. During the discussion, the social worker mentioned that “60 Minutes” had contacted her, wanting to interview homeless families living in their vehicles. Would they be interested? The family agreed. A then-freshman honors student at Seminole High School, Autumn wore the shirt when the CBS crew filmed her walking through the school’s covered breezeways and sitting on a bench, reading. The segment, “Hard Times Generation,” aired Nov. 27, 2011, and it prompted an incredible outpouring of support, CBS News reported. At Stetson, President Wendy B. Libby, PhD, received a flood of emails from faculty, alumni and others wanting to help the teen. “It was so obvious to me upon meeting Autumn and her brother that the university, in line with our mission, had to offer free tuition, room and board,” Libby said recently. “And her brother is making his way through campus; he’s going to be a junior next year. So, I’m very thankful we could do that for them. I really congratulate her on her graduation, her engagement and her future. And I really hope she goes to Stetson Law."

so sad that we need to draw a lottery for a chance at a quality education

[@JM-gg8ko]

Not enough quality teachers they can afford to pay private school level salary. Public school is full of teachers that won't be qualified to teach at expensive schools.

[@Praisethesunson]

​@@JM-gg8koLol you managed to be wrong on every count. Well done.

[@Praisethesunson]

Why? You need to draw a lottery for a chance at a quality economic position. Might as well reflect that in the education system.

Unfortunately, graduating from college and universities has seen much better days. Since the turn of the 21st Century, college degrees are increasingly worthless with dim wit life outlooks. Read "The College Scam" book written by Charlie Kirk!! The cost of this book is like pennies as compared to college tuition and fees.... Good read!!

Thank you Princeton. I don’t usually agree with affirmative action, but as a first gen college grad from a single parent household, this is the best approach to equality.

[@honeybee176]

I love to see changes such as this! The overturning of affirmative action in the US was such a loss, and I’m saying that as a white female who is definitely not the first person in her family to go to college. Those from lower socio-economic statuses don’t have the same advantages that others do. Affirmative action gives them a chance. Those who are from the upper class will still get into college, just maybe not their first choice. This is what is best for the economy and country as a whole.

[@Chad_Max]

Affirmative action based on race just erodes standards and produces less qualified graduates b/c its not merit based. Affirmative action based on income is a much better method since the assessment criteria is merit based so standards don't get eroded. That's the key....

[@stuartnewman7068]

surest way to narrow gap is college degree? From personal experience my engineering degree is worthless and terrible waste of time & money. My advice - want to be hopelessly poor & homeless? Then go earn a degree like mine. There's a reason it's called "BS".

[@annawalsh1904]

Engineering is one of the best, highest paying degrees to get. If you can’t get a job from that, that’s on you. Don’t discourage people from getting stem degrees.

[@stuartnewman7068]

@@annawalsh1904 yeah I guess I was upset right then. However I can make some point that people should not listen to others when it comes to the degree. Once I knew myself better and trusted my own opinions I realized the only engineering that would work for me was Civil. I wouldn't like working outside in all weather they said, just thought I would. Problem is they were talking about themselves. One year in my thirties I supervised landfill liner installation in the winter on a hill in New England. Approval delays, earmarked funds, typical reasons for such stupidity. However I did just fine. For me better than the office. So my advice is know yourself learn about the career that you're working towards and ultimately other people might give you advice and may mean well but you need to trust yourself on these important choices.

[@mathisnotforthefaintofheart]

Why do people have to go to a private school after HS? Those freshmen and sophomore classes are no better than at any ordinary school. Get your electives out of the way at your local Community College (and possibly get your two year degree) and then transfer to a state school. I work in higher ed. I see students driving cars way more expensive than what I drive. What's going on? Can't Junior live a simple life? Looking at the poor quality of students I sometimes get, I think we need to trim the number of students getting into higher education based on IQ and true intentions to actually STUDY. College is NOT for everyone and it doesn't have to be.
