No.
Most of them come from very wealthy families, at least rich enough to pay them the best education.
You don't become poor because you're lazy. You become poor because you were born poor AND you don't have enough will, work, education and luck to become rich.
IMO, the education must be 100% free, up to the University level. In addition to that, the students must get reimbursement for their conveyance and food/stationary expenses. This will help the poor people to grab more opportunities.
WHAT? But...

Weren't you one of those idiot conservatives who think we should all pay everything for ourselves and there should be no taxes and all?
Well I might have confused you with another member but I was pretty sure you were one of those idiots...
My bad though.
Indeed free education is a mandatory step to a developed and rather equal society.
I don't know what I would have become in a USA-kind of country when only the rich can go to university :/
