I wonder if we could make college a lot cheaper for a lot of students and their families by dramatically increasing the number of transfer students from in-state community colleges accepted at four-year state institutions. Might this not lead to a significant decrease in student debt? Might this not help diversify the group of people getting four-year degrees?
I wonder if a lot of those 46% aren't living at home in part because they are paying off student loans on menial wages. Suppose that by living at home when you're 18 and 19 and going to community college and avoiding two years of massive debt incursion you could avoid living at home when you're 22. Might that not be an improvement?
