    Bottom line, money. Some was due to a few small scholarships and grants. Back in the 80’s school tuition was not very expensive, compared to now. You could dig around and find some of these programs that basically paid your tuition fees. But that’s all they covered. The rest of the fees, books and living expenses was on you. Back then lab, materials and the extra class fees, even used books could run twice the tuition cost easy.

    I know what you mean, tuition nowadays are way to over priced, even if a person got into a great program, let’s say graduate school, they would still need to find a way to pay for the program and also living expenses since many people cannot work when their in college. Some people do work though.
