It is true to say that college is more expensive than high school. Obviously, it provides a higher level of education, but by having such high fees it doesn’t give people coming from a low-income household a chance. Also, in college you have to buy your own books whereas in high school students are loaned books. If the government paid for books for college as it does for high school more people might be able to afford going to college. And as if paying for books isn’t enough, many cities do not have colleges, so students who want to get a higher education have no choice but to move away to another city and sometimes-another state. This often involves paying for an apartment and for food. Even taking the bus for transportation cost a good amount of money, unlike high school where students ride for free. Last year alone, my good friend Shane spent over one hundred dollars on transportation alone. As you can see, college is a lot more expensive than high school. .
However, the cost is not the only thing to consider when comparing high school and college, the relationships between teachers and students are also different.
