If you’re too ignorant to understand the difference between State and Private colleges, you deserve this. I went to a Public University..less than $15,000 debt. My cousin went to private, she’s over $100,000 in debt. We have the same BA degree. Foolishness! However, if you’re non-white, have no worries. The tax payers will foot your bill eventually.
