No doubt. Everything is more expensive.
I go to UCSD campus often enough. I don’t know what they eat. But Price Center is crowded and many students are dressed better/more expensive than me and have lots of gizmos I don’t have.[/quote]The Price Center has a nice food court.
Universities now have food courts like at the shopping mall. It wasn’t the case when I was a student. Food service is definitely better and more expensive.
Students also dress better than in the past. Kids now start wearing premium clothing early on.[/quote]
totally true. And nice clothing isn’t necessary. We don’t know how many of those with premium clothes and iphones have students loans and how many don’t – but there seem to be the majority of them. Maybe those with nice clothes do eat top ramen because those are their priorities. So it’s hard to prove one way or the other, who is doing what, but in general student life seems better and more expensive and more people are enjoying better clothes/electronics etc. than when I was in college 20 years ago.

Spent much time with college students lately? They’re still eating top ramen. It just costs more than it did when you were in college.[/quote]

The number of spots for Calif residents is constantly squeezed out because of the out-of-state applicants. That happens regardless.
I don’t think it’s fair for foreigners to take the spots of residents just because they have money. UC is supported by taxpayers – which those foreigners are not.
This part about living expenses is just a side story if you want and you want to make a big deal about it. Not sure why you are up in arms. Do you think getting a student loan so one can wear latest fashion, buy an iphone, iPad, starbucks, etc is smart?
I don’t think it would pop the bubble if we limit the loans for the living expenses, ok? But it may make the kids think twice and find clever ways to cut costs.
Back to OP:
What do you think it’s going to happen in the future? What will cause the bubble to pop – or let out air slowly?ParticipantWell, guess what? The number of spots for Calif residents is constantly squeezed out because of the out-of-state applicants. That happens regardless.
