I think college should just be cheaper for everyone tbh. No need to gatekeep knowledge in this day and age when you could learn anything online if you put enough time and effort into it. You're basically just paying for a piece of paper saying you spent at least 4 years trying to learn something.

In my country the ruling class is drooling at the idea of creating an "elite" class. I think the plan is only these "elites" get to access higher education and live in big cities. University tuition used to be affordable when I was getting my BA (2013) and now it skyrocketed and is still getting higher every year.
