I can't believe so many 4-year institutions get away with charging $20K-45K per year for the "experience" of college - dorm life, cafeteria food, parties, etc. These 18 year-olds don't understand debt and end up with a mortgage over their head while having a Bachelor's degree in a field that has no prospects. These tactics should fall under the term of "predatory lending".
It is high time for Community Colleges to become free and the remaining 2 years be capped at no more than $10K, all in (books, dorms, food, etc.). If the college can't meet its expenses with these numbers, they need to shut down.
ACE, CLEP and other alternate credits are the future of this industry. Google, Amazon and other technical certifications are making these alternate education models more acceptable. It is time for the old model to whither away. It just isn't working anymore.
