Re: why is college so expensive?
Market forces. People want to go to college so that they can maximize their lifetime earning potential. Because this is so important to so many people, colleges and universities (as well as textbook publishers) can raise their "prices" (tuition, fees, etc.) with impunity, because they know that plenty of people will pay it. I'm glad I didn't go.
