Also, there are mechanisms in place(assuming this is an American post). I know because I'm taking advantage of them.

I'm poor, at a respected university, and about graduate with a Bachelors. Might have spent 3k overall on school. Pell Grant was amazing.

Aint a perfect system, but still works a lot of the time

Jup it is just an American/British thing that you can only study if you have the money. In Germany it is all about your grades and even then you can just wait until you study medicine. Also there are Stipendia, if you are really good and passionate.
