It doesn't really pay tuition for that many people. It does cover a lot of it, though. Mine was about $50k, give or take a few thousand.
SoundPirate
I pay about 3,000 per semester at a shitty college.
Corgishavedisproportionatelysmalllegs
That's actually pretty reasonable in the US. $33,000/person for 4 years. The typical college graduate will be around $100,000 for 4 years
Patient00
Wha? No!
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
If you go to community college then 2 years of state college it's expensive, but really not prohibitively so.

HanjinHanamura
Depends on the college. Most places with a pedigree are thousands of dollars per semester- community college is better for a budget

I've seen so many people complain about not being able to get a job and about college being to expensive for an essential. Make up your mind
jhsuber
In-state colleges can often cost far less, but may not offer certain degrees or people want to go to big/recognizable colleges.
Ttarler
In addition, certain states make Dreamers pay for out of state tuition.
Sapphyre2
1) I am going to the cheapest school in my state. For all 4 years my tuition, room, and board was paid with government grants and loans...
Sapphyre2
3) I graduate in May at $30,000 in debt. I am very lucky it is not more than that.
GBWI
Soudns reasonable - good luck on finding right away a job that leaves enough to pay back.
Sapphyre2
2) I only could go to school because of this. I was only able to get so much government help because my family is so poor.
RigelKent
That's $33k for each person to cover the entire 4 yrs (tuition, fees, books). I fail to see how that's absurd?
humpbackwhale
It almost doesn’t seem like enough :/
tut666
in other countries tuition is zero.
Peetrus36
Yeah. In Estonia we can get free apartments (certain schools) to live in and don't have to pay any fees for school. 33k seems insane.
GBWI
Germany: about 1000-2000/year. If your parents are poor: It will be convered. If your parents are really poor: (1/2)

DamianWinters
what are dreamers?
timxedge
It basically provides educational benefits to undocumented immigrants that were illegally brought here by their parents when they were kids
DamianWinters
Don't you become a citizen if you have stayed in America since you were a child? doesn't seem any different to being born in America
cutecatpicturesarewhyimhere
That's the hope behind the dreamer program, a lot of these kids have been here their whole lives and didn't even know they weren't citizens
shinydev
They’re undocumented immigrants who came to the US too young to remember their parent’s home country. They get no benefits, they pay taxes.
DamianWinters
Shouldn't they be treated the same as someone born in America? being there since you're a child is basicly the same thing.
shinydev
That’s basically one side, the other wants to send the dreamers to a country they don’t remember, don’t know, don’t speak the language, etc.
daarionaharis
In Germany, 33 million, would pay for 25,000 students. Source is my tuition fee in Germany, 09-13, Mainz, Germany, for 6 semesters.
LeonardoDaTiddies
This is YOUR tuition fee, right? How much does the state pay? In the US, almost all of the cost is paid by student. Lots more to it 1/
LeonardoDaTiddies
that is more complex than makes sense for Imgur, but it is like effective and marginal tax rates - rarely compared correctly. 2/2

SanguineKnave
Also Bezos giving $33m out of his $100bn+ is like someone with $1,000 giving $0.33. He doesn't deserve too much praise for that
pooleboy
There’s nothing you can buy with $0.33. There’s pretty much nothing you CANT buy with $33mm. 2) Just because he can easily afford it
extremisttt
I need more math like this to put rich people into perspective.
pooleboy
I really hate this mentality. 1) No, it’s not really like that. Just because it’s the same ratio doesn’t mean it’s the same thing
pooleboy
That was nice and all, but you don’t deserve any credit because it wasn’t nice ENOUGH. How about applaud people for doing nice things
pooleboy
Doesn’t mean it’s not a noble or nice gesture. Next time you do something nice how would you like it if somebody ran up and said
pooleboy
Even when they can afford it. He did something positive in the world. He absolutely deserves credit for it.

Once.
IridescentLotus
They cant receive anything else? That doesnt even cover 4 years at a community college
Kevinpaddles
No federal Government aid, but scholarships, grants, and loans are all fair game.
animecooky
Yeah but it's kind of crazy you have to pay four times as much for community college.

Nope and most places make dreamers pay out of state tuition even if they have been in the state for years.

Except CA

I went for 6 years and it cost me somewhere around $80-90,000. Least expensive university in my state.

mcflymetothemoon
Not to mention "less expensive" schools here are still expensive. Even state run public schools (ie SUNY) can cost upwards of 20,000 a year.
InfinitusEquitas
20k a year? That's it? At the risk of dating mywrlf, Rutgers was 16k, with campus housing in 2002.

It depends on if you're going to private or state-funded schools (aka Public). You can choose less expensive places.
MrRibeye
That is why I am learning German. Then I can teach my children and send them to school in Germany.
MisterBitey
Average yearly tuition for private is about 34-35 grand, for public in state is around 10 grand, and out of state is around 25 grand 1/2
NuclearUterus91
What state do you live in where you only pay 10 grand a year for living there??
MisterBitey
that is the average, a single student most likely living is a dorm or something could probably live off that since dorm expenses a lot 1/2
MisterBitey
room and board is around 10-12k a year supplies and books around 1200 a year and around 3 grand for personal and transport expenses 2/2
MrTCF
Yeah my in state public university costs roughly 20k a year
MisterBitey
also it depends on your degree

Where I'm going (not too fancy or prestigious, but not community college) classes are about 4-6k a semester, transportation will cost...
