Comrade Trump threatens to “seize the endowments” of Universities.

I have rentals so I know the cost of housing.
I also had to rent a house for 18 months while my house was being rebuilt little more than a year ago.

Plenty of 2 bedroom apartments for 1200-1500 a month if someone wants to live on their own, or they are smart if they can and stay at home like many are doing.

 

LOL, my daughter pays 1900 for a small one bedroom in Orlando. The same here in Brevard county.

 

Obviously some markets are different and there is variation within markets.

My 1 bedroom rental in Ormond that’s 1/2 a mile to the beach is rented for $1000/ month. Has a garage and H20 is paid for.

 

Maybe young college educated professionals don’t want to live in Volusia county? My other daughter lives in Bradenton and her small one bedroom is 1300. a month nowhere near the beach. Your rental seems to be the outlier.

 

Well if we are talking about college educated professionals they should be able to afford a lot more than someone putting their way through school. (I thought that’s what we were talking about).

 

Because they are already predisposed to it.

Authoritarian voters pushed Trump to victory. Can they do it again?

 

Have you seen the rents in Gainesville lately?

 

That’s part of the issues we are speaking of, not everyone needs to go or can afford to start off at a 4 years college of the “dreams”.
Local community colleges are largely looked down upon by many. (families, friends, school guidance counselors, etc).
Not everyone needs to go away for their first two years and rack up debt.

 

All of this is true but depending on your major a community college may not be in your best interests. Ask any kid doing dual enrollment in Florida and they’ll tell you that, generally speaking, the classes are much easier than an AP class.
Sometimes you’ll still have to retake a class that you took at the community college.

A bit off topic but I think that Florida made a terrible mistake making community colleges four year institutions. It would’ve been a better use of resources to beef up AAs, certificate programs, and vocational programs. A four year degree is not for everyone. Pretty sure that we agree on that.

 

100%

The push to make many degrees BS degrees is a scam, talking mostly about allied health.
RN
RT
Those are two year AS degrees, if someone wants to step off that then the other classes are needed.
No need to have the superfluous classes added in that just jack up the costs. It's a money grab and waste of resources, but I see that all over not just in Florida.

 

Sorry I’ve worked with nurses for 35 years you couldn’t be more wrong.
The 2 year RN track is all that’s needed for an RN.
Most of the BS program stuff has zero to do with being a good nurse or a nurse at all.
90% of the great nurses were 2 year tracks.
It’s just a money grab or a way for them to go be ARNP which is a whole other discussion.
CNA is a 6 month deal.
LPN was a 1 year track and was fine.

BCC had a 4 year program and typically they were terrible.
This is based on a very large sample size.
