What is the reason for the high cost of a college education?

Colleges are price gouging because student loans are guaranteed by the government

Colleges are a guarantee of success in this economy, hence the high cost.

A prestigious name (Harvard, Yale, Georgetown,) is a market draw, which increases demand.

#1, but that is a simplistic view. We used to subsidize public higher ed thru taxes. Now we subsidize through easy student loans, and there is competition among universities to bring in the most student loan $. It is a very broken system.
