Chapter 1290 The exorbitant tuition fees for American universities
Reed is a lawyer and Katrin is a doctor. They are considered a typical middle-class American family. They have also saved a college reserve fund for their two children over the years.
If it were an ordinary university, Andy and Lauren would not have to go to the bank to apply for student loans like American students in the 80s... Well, I have to explain here that it is a fact that the education level in the United States is higher than that in China, but the educational environment in China is... But it is much healthier than the United States.
Nothing else. The tuition fees for higher education in the United States are too high.
The price is so high that ordinary families simply cannot afford it, so they can only go to the bank for a loan.
To put it simply, without loans, most Americans cannot afford to go to college... In this regard, China is really much better.
For example, President Obama of the Black Panther Republic also took out a bank loan when he was in college.
As a result, a few years after graduation, Jobnilla asked him to change his name, and he still hadn't paid off the loan...Obaniu has a relatively high education, got a doctorate, and took out a lot of loans.
But Auba Niu is not a dawdling man. After graduation, he became a law school professor at a prestigious university. Because he has been preparing to participate in politics, his life is not luxurious at all, and he is at the level of an ordinary middle class.
But he...if it weren't for Jobney, he wouldn't be able to pay off the loan until he becomes president.
In this dimension, I don’t know whether I am lucky or unlucky.
After becoming the president ahead of schedule and becoming the deputy director of the "Revolutionary Export Bureau" of the men in black, Obama finally paid off his student loan in the middle of last year.
At the beginning of last year, the League of Nations was established, and the Black Panther Nation also joined the League of Nations. The laws of the League of Nations became increasingly more majestic, and American bankers became emboldened and dared to send a lawyer's letter to the president of the Black Panther Nation.
He also accused Oba Niu of defaulting on his debt... Of course, Oba Niu did not repay the loan on time during the days when Gan changed his name.
In order to avoid becoming a deadbeat, Obama had no choice but to apply to Lu Dan, hoping that the men in black would increase his salary or give him a year-end bonus... After all, Kerry's vigorous democracy Sports, he also has a small part of the credit, isn't it?
Well, with Jobney leading by example, even President Obama doesn't have much salary.
Even Auba Niu is like this, let alone other ordinary people
This is true even for ordinary universities, let alone Galaxy 3A prestigious schools
Caitlin's worries are not without purpose. The cost of Academy City is really very high.
After thinking about it, Professor His life at school is over.”
Maya stipulates that after the orphans adopted by Konoha reach the age of 18, they must work to support themselves.
Of course, Konoha also provides them with many jobs, helping to pick tea leaves, collect fruits, clean Green Plaza, etc. As long as they are not in the late stage of laziness and cancer, they can easily live a well-off life.
"As for Andy and Lauren...the school also has a convenience store and McDonald's. You can work as a waiter, or join the school's demon slayer guard team."
"What a Demon Slayer Guard, it won't work. Andy and Lauren are too young and inexperienced." Caitlin shouted.
"Let's test it first." Professor X waved his hand.
You may not even be selected.
At this time, Shaji's registration was also finished. Lauren came over and asked excitedly: "How come I got 33 points in the ACT test and a total score of 36 in the SAT test? I got 1450 points in the SAT and a total score of 1600. Is that enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough. For mutants, it's enough to have enough education to graduate from high school." Professor X nodded.
"You should know that Academy City was transformed from Miss Hanson's Omega Academy plan, so the ability of our mutants is the most important test item.
Now, tell me what you can do." Professor X stood up and said with a smile while debugging an instrument that looked like a large water tank.
The box is a cube with a side length of four meters, made of silver metal, and looks like a large water tank.
"I can tear... well, it's like a telekinesis ability that can make objects explode from the inside. Lauren is just the opposite of me. She can repair... a concept of repair." Andy said excitedly.
"It seems that you have done a lot of research in private. Now, who will go in first?" Charles opened the door on one side of the water tank and extended his hand to invite.
"First, what should I do?" Andy probed into the box and asked.
The inside of the box is not dark, and there are no messy wiring or parts. It is made of very flat silver metal.
"This is a tester made of Adamantium alloy. Once you enter it, release yourself completely and let me see your abilities and...potential." Charles explained.
Two minutes later, "Boom!"
"Okay, Andy, that's it," Charles shouted into the phone.
"How about it?" Caitlin said anxiously.
When Andy was testing, they stood behind Shaji and watched, but they couldn't understand the complex data on the screen at all.
"Alpha mutant with no flaws, ability level, level 3, potential, level 5. Congratulations, Andy is qualified for admission." Shaji said happily.
"Oh my God, that's great. Lauren is as powerful as Andy. Since Andy can pass, it's even more important for Lauren." Reed said with a sigh of relief.
Before, he hoped that his children's abilities would be as weak as possible, and he wished he could find an X-power inhibitor to seal their abilities; now, what he saw and heard in Academy City has completely changed his worldview.
No matter how ignorant he is, he still understands the meaning of Ivy League, 211, and Galaxy 3a.
This is the number one prestigious school today, even the first-tier prestigious school in the galaxy.
And ability is achievement.
Which parent doesn’t want their child to have good grades?
After a while, Lauren's test was completed, and as expected, as Reed said, she had the same score as her brother Andy.
While applying for a temporary residence permit, Andy suddenly asked: "If we can become stronger, can we become official members directly?"
"Are you serious?" Charles raised his head and said seriously: "I think you have used your full strength just now."
"Lauren" Andy looked at Lauren expectantly.
"This..." Lauren hesitated.
"As a mutant, it would be so sad if you never fully unleashed your abilities. These are the exact words of Miss Hansen.
Therefore, she used the sacred tree Green to build classrooms, training rooms, and bedrooms for us, and also opened a subject called Force Liberation in Konoha School, um, similar to ordinary people's physical education classes.
Turns out, she was right.
After being released, the little mutant's personality became brighter and more cheerful, and his ability control was greatly improved. "Shaji pointed out something else.
"Well, Xavier also has similar subjects." Charles nodded.
"Okay, Andy, let's release it once too." Lauren thought for a while and said.
"You said we and you have combined skills." Charles was surprised.
"Well, unlike you and Magneto, you don't need to merge, just holding hands is enough." Andy said awkwardly.
"Maybe..." Charles shrugged and said nothing more.
Two minutes later, the two siblings holding hands began to emit endless white light, and the Adamantium alloy box began to shake gently.
"Omega, Omega" Shaji exclaimed in horror as she looked at the data on the monitor.
Although Charles was also excited, he still remained awake. Sensing the hesitation in his mind, he quickly shouted: "Continue, Andy, Lauren, continue, don't stop..."
"boom"
