7. Im not really for this. And ill tell you why. Most kids would like to go away to collegen maybe not far but to a university or a big time dream school. They should find away to lower the cost of colleges that cost more then $40,000. Think about some people dont even make that much money and that takes away an opportunity for a young adult.
