Abstract

The article looks at U.S. college costs and government policy, as of 2013. It reports on U.S. President Barack Obama's proposals for bringing college costs down, including publishing rankings and other information about colleges and revising student financial aid rules. The author presents a case for the view that college costs are likely to fall in the coming years due to market forces, noting that the number of students enrolling in college in the U.S. has begun to drop.

Abstract

The article presents information on the cost of education at California's 2-year colleges, despite the fact that they have the lowest tuition rates in the United States. A March 2007 report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education says that many state residents with low or moderate incomes cannot afford to attend the community colleges due to hidden costs, such as housing, food, health care, textbooks, and supplies. The report estimates that tuition represents only 5 percent of the students' costs. It recommends that legislators focus on increasing state grants for nontuition expenses instead of focusing on low tuition.
