Applying for college applications are hard enough. The cost of application fees can range from $50-$100 in the United States limiting the amount of colleges students can apply to. Most of these students don't work and might have other siblings wanting to attend or in college. Therefore, making it harder on the parents to send all their children to college.
The cost for application fees should be lower than what it is, allowing students to have a variety of choices. Reason being that paying the application fee does not guarantee acceptance.
Many families struggle to try to get their bright students into a good college causing them to take out student loans that they might not even be able to afford.
