Four Years Of School, A Lifetime Of Debt Sept. 9, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (The Nation) This column was written by Barbara Ehrenreich. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Fleece U., where our mission is to take feckless teenagers such as yourselves and turn them into full-fledged citizens of our economy, meaning, of course, debtors. Many life-changing things will happen to you in the next four years. You will make lasting friends, including perhaps the love of your life. You will drink more than you ever thought possible and bitterly regret it in the morning. You will lose your virginity, if you happen to have brought it with you. Our stellar faculty ardently hopes that along the way you will be amazed by calculus and charmed by the tipsy conversation between Alcibiades and that wily old radical, Socrates. There is also a general expectation that you will come out of here with some hazy notion of spelling and grammar. But never forget that your real purpose here is to shake off the pointless freedom of youth and assume the burden of debt. To this end, we have just raised our tuition in an attempt to keep up with such top-of-the-line institutions as George Washington University (now weighing in at $39,210 a year, or $50,000 with room and board.) You will find us also charging a plethora of additional fees - a "student activities fee," a "technology fee," and an "incidentals fee." In addition, we will be experimenting this year with a "snow removal fee," a "lecture hall seat-use fee," and the installation of pay toilets in the dorms.

At present we do not charge any additional tuition for this training in bill-reading, though we are considering adding a special "fee fee" in the future. Another thing that will help ease you into the status of debtor is the price of your textbooks - about $120 to $180 for a new, graffiti-free copy. True, this seems high when you could buy a hardcover of
