universities

This is an issue that has always been on my mind in one way or the other. I know that Four year Universities are supposed to educate you and help you become a better person. My question though is do they really help you in long run money wise?

I really can not get a grasp on why school costs so much money! Oh wait, yes I can because I know that if more people voted in my age demographic the likelihood of tution rising so drasticially every year would dramatically decrease, but what do I know?
