Earning acollege degreeis a massive accomplishment.
But attending classes and writing essays that are 50 pages long is only part of the battle.
Another huge hurdle for many students ispayingfor school.
One woman was recently asked by her father if she would contribute to her brothers college fund.
But because she didnt have any help paying for her own degree, she refused.
I (26F) graduated from college a couple of years ago.
AITA for saying no to helping pay for my brothers education?
But it hasnt always been that way.
In fact, the cost of going to a university has more than doubled over the past few decades.
And some students end up paying much more, depending on where they choose to get their education.
So how do students manage to afford this?
And a third of parents manage to spend over $10,000 a year on their childrens education.
Over half of students also received some sort of scholarship or financial aid from their university.
And of course, many students will take on loans 38% of undergrads to be exact.
The financial burden of earning a degree rarely falls fully on the student.
But because she managed to do it, she also knows that he can figure it out too.
Only 22% of graduates believe that going to college is worth it with loans.
We would love to hear your thoughts on this situation, pandas.
