Which means it's paid by your taxes. It comes out of someone's pockets. Almost ANYONE can go to college in the US. You can be a complete idiot and still get in somewhere. You could argue that's a bad thing but countries that pay for higher education via taxes typically have much stricter standards on getting in to school. IF I'm going to be paying for other people's higher ed then there better be something in place making sure they actually finish or deserve to be there.
