About this episode

College tuition can hit $90,000 a year at private schools, but most students never pay that price. So why does college seem so expensive, and who actually foots the bill? Host Sony Kassam sits down with economist Dr. Sandy Baum to untangle the mystery. From the GI Bill to the Higher Education Act of 1965, we explore how college access expanded, costs rose, and financial aid became central to the system.
