摘要：This paper examines the multifaceted economic, social, and psychological impacts of the rising cost of college tuition in the United States, with a particular focus on students from low-income families. The escalating tuition fees have far-reaching implications, including increased student loan debt, delayed social mobility, and psychological stress among students. The paper explores the barriers to higher education imposed by financial constraints and the systemic challenges that exacerbate income inequality in access to quality education. Case studies highlight the resilience of students who overcome these obstacles, as well as the struggles of those who face significant setbacks. The paper concludes with policy implications and recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach to address the financial barriers in higher education. It advocates for policy interventions that increase financial aid, reform educational funding, and promote innovative and affordable educational models to ensure equitable access to higher education.
