挑战版《闲话美国》－美国大学有多贵？（正常语速）

US University Education (ADV)

State (public) University

- In-state tuition (for residents of the state)

   e.g. UC Berkeley 

     In-state: $5,721 per term

     Out of state: $ 20,217 per term

Private university

 e.g. Stanford University

         $ 50,000 per year (Only tuition fee)

Student loans 

- From government

- From banks 

*in the UK, student loan interest rate is around 1.5% 

In the US, it is 5-7%, and it is still going up. 

Postgraduate level

Medical school/law school/business school cost a LOT more.

Government loan is designed to be paid back in 10 years. 

You can work with the government to come up with a suitable payment schedule.

Slightly more than 1/3 of the adult population in the US holds a bachelor's degree and up. 

It is easier for STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics) majors to find jobs.

Non-STEM majors are likely to go into a field irrelevant to their majors.

Most universities only have a 60-70% completion rate.
