My Case

Because of all of my research, my case is going to be that less parents are paying for college. My case is going to be that parents aren't really paying for college anymore and that the students are actually paying for it by themselves. I've found many articles online that really help my case and also personal stories within these articles. Some articles say that parents do still pay for college but more sources say that students are paying. So my case is going to be that more and more students are paying for their own higher education now a days. I need to find out more details about percentages of students who get loans and scholarships here at Rutgers by meeting with someone who works here but I am still having a difficult time knowing who I should meet with at the university.


Here are some of my sources that have helped me form my case:

  1. It looks like the best reading of this evidence is that parents are starting to feel the pinch of escalating college costs, which are forcing many to choose between retirement or forcing their children to pay for their own college education. That is basically a choice between two evils, and it is probably just a question of how selfish they are that tilts the balance either way. In any case, this is a very interesting set of readings -- except for the one on individualized majors, which I don't see.
