First Thought on my final paper topic

Coming into this class i was not sure what to expect from it. Being a freshman at Rutgers makes this course easy to relate to because we are dealing with all the adjustments of a new life in store for us. The initial reaction to college is a way of having complete and total freedom and the opportunity to make decisions for yourself. After the initial reaction to life on your own most people sit back and look at what college really is which is a place with many opportunities, yet struggles being thrown at you. Adjusting to a new life is very hard and comes along with many crucial decisions that will affect the rest of your life. Higher education is now becoming more and more expensive and harder for people to be a part of. But why should parents spend all this money for their children to go off and ruin their futures? Why aren't schools designed so that you go to a community college the first two years to get used to the whole college experience before actually going away and throwing away all that money? Since schools aren't like this what kind of support goes out to those in need of succeeding? Those families who are comfortably living why do they not get the rights to just as much financial aid as the next? They probably can't afford school and live a normal life either.
