    We can be good, but we have a lot of poverty testing that prohibits others from that same system.

    It is generous, and I hope we can keep it that way, but it also is means tested and often sucks people out of higher education. I’m personally a victim of that, with my local community college.

    I am however thankful you got something good, and I wish more people could have it.

      I went off to college back in the great recession so it really was like the best option i could find. The experience really shaped me as a person and im so greatful i didn’t lose my chance at education to poverty in a recession.

      I’m sorry to hear they prevented you from that program. No system is without need for reform. Hopefully they can continue to improve the system and make it more inclusive.
