YouTube University: Why go to College?

UTOPIA

Picture an advance civilization, where no one has to borrow money to finance an education. No money is owed, no money is loaned. A society where the mere idea of student loans is taboo, unusual, extraordinary!

Why would anyone need to borrow money to receive an education?

In Utopia, the education system is so affordable that maintaining an hourly-paid, retail job covers a student’s tuition, school supplies, and living expenses.

How is that possible?

Course and degree requirements are simplified — translating into the cost-saving measures passed down to the students. In fact, classes start at $49 per month (instead of $10,000 per month — more on this later).
