No, unrealistic parents put their kids in debt. Schools are just like anything else in a free market society. Everyone wants to send their kids to top name schools because that's how your kids get ahead...except when it doesn't which is most of the time. So you have all these students fighting for limited seats and then everyone wonders why tuition is so high.
Out of my siblings I am the most successful and I went to the cheapest school (small state uni) albeit on a full scholarship. I could have gone to a better school, but in hindsight my best bet would have been to take learning and social networking a little more seriously (I was focused on just getting my degree by taking as many credits as possible).
