College is too easy for which to go into debt.
I have been reading/editing/forwarding in college debt horror stories to my kids every day.
The bottom line is make sure you
1. Can get the degree (you are willing/able/ready)
2. Can pay for it....or go into debt only enough that your future income can readily pay it back
3. Get a degree that earns real money, not just accolades. (fries with that?)
If it's easy for anyone, and they meet the above, great! But if it's too easy, I suggest that number 3 above is being violated.
But, no, the school I attended tried to flunk frosh out, unless you went for a liberal arts degree.
