But you usually can get aid from the gov't, as well as aid from the university and any scholarships you get.

You can't always get scholarships and not everyone qualifies for a grant. In fact, few do. Many students have to take out loans, which have to be paid back. As someone who got 2 bachelors and a masters, I was lucky enough to graduate with only $35,000 in debt.

AND unlike every other kind of debt (home loans, car loans etc.) student loans CANNOT be wiped away by declaring bankruptcy. And also unlike almost every other kind of debt if you DIE and still have student loans they will come after your grieving family for the money instead of writing it off. According to my accounting and history professor you can thank Biden for that delightful bit of legislation. (It wasn't just him but he played a big part in it) So be EXTREMELY careful when it comes to taking out student loans. I'm incredibly lucky because my mother works for my university so I get a big discount and can afford it without loans.

It gets even worse as you progress, at my university grad programs are twice as expensive if not more. I assume everyone is talking about FAFSA - which is unavailable to families that make more than 60,000/yr (where i'm from) regardless of how many kids they have (whether they are in college or not doesn't matter) or how expensive the school they are attending may be.

And then they put memes on the internet glorifying skipping class and not studying.

You can get a full ride or a scholarship if you work for it. You need to search for the tools though.

Well, you can`t give out all that welfare money AND subsidize all those college students majoring in Gender Studies or Community Activism.
