    1. ETHOS
      1)College should not be pricey because chancellors and president's have enough money to operate them and they also receive help from the departments of education all over the US.They also have enough money to fix any damages the college has had.

      PATHOS
      2)College should not be pricey because everyone should have a chance to receive formal education at a higher level and not be based on bias or discrimination.

      LOGOS
      3)The reason why families can't afford college is because they don't have enough money to send their kids to college but also because the best colleges are the expensive ones this is because chancellors take entirely too much money that most of the time they don't use.

    2. I think colleges should raise their price so the economy can be much stronger and so it can scare people while they're in college so they have no choice but to pass.

  2. Pathos: The rising cost of college has become a mayor concern and if this continues then we as students won't be able to even go to college.

      2.Ethos - you cant blame the colleges for rising their fees i think you should blame yourself or better yet you can blame the economy.one could have taken measures to prevent you dropping out of college but you did not.

      3.logos-the biennial report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education were reporting what the think happen but if they want to report something they should look at the number of students dropping out of free high school.
