(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Considering 99.9% of my threads are troll threads, I'd like to **** shit up a bit and make a serious thread that applies almost all of you.

Tuition prices are gradually being raised and soon enough only the super rich will be able to go to a good university. This applies to ALL students ALL over the world. If you care about your future or your present for all you college students, join this movement.

Make education available for all, not only the super-rich.


The International Student Movement is a movement involving thousands of students(high school AND college) fighting for cheap and good education for all. Feel free to like the page and get on the mailing list for the chats/events in your area.

Now I know from experience and age (once again, UK speaking), that amount of students that go to university that don't even bother trying to persue what it is they went for and instead see it as a year or 2 they partied, I believe would reduced and the serious would still take it on.

I'm obviously not blind to those less fortunate that may now lose out. It's a tough situation, but I see reasons on both sides.


Thats correct.

Students who strive to reach whatever goals they are persuing will not be put off by this at all. Because they can only reach those goals by going to Uni. That being said this may affect students who may come from poor financial backgrounds and who want to achieve the necassary qualification to take certan careers.

Which is exactly my point.

I come from Stockton, California. One of the worst cities in the U.S. We lose a shitload of people every year to drugs,gangs and murder.

For people like myself who come from the middle class and can't necessarily afford the ever increasing tuition and additional fees, it's ridiculous education is becoming so expensive. It actually discourages me from wanting to go to a university and having to live the rest of my adult life in debt.


The system is set up for you to go to college and pick a career that will make you money(not one you enjoy..this applies to most people anyway) and spend the rest of or a majority of your life paying off student loans and making you a slave to this system.

I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but this is how the system has been for generations now.

I know what you mean about the debt. In the UK the changes mean that you won't have to start paying until you rpearn at least 20k, and whilst this is good if you earn a lot more than that, those who only just earn 20k will spend year after year paying back the money.

And that is why we need a change.

Education should be for everyone, not just for those who have a lot of money.

Quite like the UK system...
Debt is not counted as debt and removed also need to pay it back after hitting a wage band.
Not sure if that true for the US
Problem is how many go and who pays

Imo make the system stated funded with business also paying and students adding money into the system at the end to boost it.
