I believe that the biggest concern for students today is finacial aid and/or the actual cost for college. In order to further your education you have to be able to afford to pay for classes. With tuition rising everyday students are now becoming more worried about being able to pay for their education. Another concern is finding jobs after graduation. After spending so much money on obtaining a degree only to find that you can not even find a job because they just aren't available.
I think the government should abstain from increasing the minimum wage. The economy is still in a fragile stage and we still need unemployment rates to go down. A higher minimum wage will make it harder for employers to hire more people. Fewer job opportunities mean higher unemployment rates.
Student loans should have lower interest rates. I believe the government should
develop a program to be able to offer students securities at a better price
than what's offered on the market today. We are all brought to this world under
different financial levels; but everyone should have the opportunity to
acquire a college education without being robbed by greedy financial
institutions.
Some Concerns are..After Obama Term is up will we still be able to attend collegeWill Minimum wage really increase to $9 an hourWill financial aid still be rewarded to those that qualifyThe government should really look into our concerns because we are the individuals that holds the future of the world. Our generation is approaching fast and effectively. Soon we will be all the doctors, police officers, court judges, jurors, law enforcers, etc. They need to pay attention to our needs. The republicans and democrats are two most very significant teams. I support democrats not that there is anything wrong with republicans, i'm just a democrat girl. Democrats are more of a team, verses republicans. Dem's are for the common good and is chose by the people so the people of our nation are being accommodated all the way around. The response of these two parties are also significant because they really make the stuff happen.
How should the government (President, Congress, and the Supreme Court) respond (or not respond) to the various problems identified by students? How important are the two major political parties (the Republicans and the Democrats) in responding (or not responding) to the various problems identified?

The number one thing every student has on their mind is how will they afford their college education ad what jobs will be available after they graduate. The government should have more grants available to help us with our books and tuition and creating more jobs waiting for us after we graduate.

I think that maybe one of the biggest problems that students have is money for college and paying back school loans. A lot of people who go to college have college funds or parents that pay their way, I’m not saying that is a bad thing it’s just the world that we live in. However there is also the other half the people who work full time and go to school on the side, in hopes to one day get their degree and finally get that dream job. In this process many may run up huge student loans, I think that the government should somehow come up with a way to make it easier for student to get money for college and to achieve their degree rather than running up huge bills that will also in turn affect that persons credit. I think one good way to do this would be to offer more student grants or scholarships for certain programs where more people may be required to do a job.
I think that we will have a future; we are all hopefully working for the common good of our country. As for your comment will the earth be a safe place to live I would like to say defiantly, the future that I am planning for myself and for the one of my family will be a great one and hopefully it will be a better one than the one I grew up in. There are defiantly a lot of problems that need to be addressed but hopefully we can continue strive for improvement.
I think that the major concerns of students are what will we have in the future. Will all that we are working for be there. Will the Earth be safe to live? Will the owrld be better for our children? Also, what can we do now to make the future have a chance.

In my personal opinion the biggest concern of students today is not just paying for an education but getting what you paid for from that education. All too frequently you hear about college graduates with bachelors or even masters degree's going out into the work force and being unable to find a job because their program did not teach them the skills necessary to succeed in their profession.
I think one of the most pressing concerns of students today is student debt. If tuition rates continue to skyrockets, college education will be out of reach for many people. Many students are deep in debt after graduating and cannot find decent paying jobs. There is a growing movement to eliminate or greatly reduce this debt on college campuses across the country. One movement called Strike Debt was born out of the Occupy Wall Street uprising. In Brazil, students have been protesting for a long time in great numbers demanding to make college education free. Something needs to change because it seems like the current system is unsustainable.
