There are hundreds of Everett young people heading back to college this week.
Everyone participating in the college experience understands how expensive the experience is.
There are hundreds of parents, grandparents, friends and the kids themselves, trying to come up with enormous amounts of money to pay the schools the huge fees necessary to gain entrance to residence halls and classes.
Parents, grandparents and students are emptying their checking accounts and their savings accounts to pay extraordinary tuitions.
They are also taking loans, enormous loans, to pay for their college educations.
The amounts are mind boggling – and they are real and they must be paid back.
