Blog Post#2
As previously mentioned before the key focus on this blog is not necessarily
the price of tuition and their continuing growth rates but ,more so the reason
why people are buying into college despite the high cost. The middle class is a

middle class is depicted as a diminishing number however the middle class is
perceived there is always the idea of that particular group of people trying to
