I created a video that summarizes everything my blog is about. It starts off dealing with what determines your acceptance and facts on how much financial aid was awarded last year. The video then goes through the American dreams of being accepted to college and showing some potential colleges (Ivy leagues and in-state schools like UW and WSU) and what they have done to make college more affordable. Then it goes into further detail about financing college…what it takes to finish school, how much interest has accumulated, how long you have to pay it off. It also talks about why college is so expensive and some of the things that contribute to the cost. The video also talks about who gets left out (inequalities) because of higher education costs and how college is becoming a commodity rather than a resource as college and how they relate to the new global economy. The video then takes viewers through tuition hikes over the past 30 years and how these increased rates are affecting our parents and even entire nation. And finally, the video takes viewers through some things that people can do to combat the high costs. enjoy!
