Does college shape your world view or vice versa?

Old-timer locals who have lived here for a long time...oh wow...listening to their hate and vitriol of everything and everybody "new" to the area, just because money for a few new schools is on the ballot. I always vote yes on school stuff.

It is truly sad how many people feel they should no longer have to help support the schools once their own children have graduated.

I'm all about supporting schools but I am a bit annoyed how much property taxes jumped. That being said I hope college is affordable in the future. We need to stop unlimited student loans.

The Federal loans actually have pretty reasonable limits. It's the private loans that are the problem. They will lend students as much as they want with zero collateral and zero evidence that they'll ever be able to repay it. That's what needs to stop.
