The American dream is just that. America doesn't have the fantastic social movement that the American people like to think it does. A large cohort are so disillusioned that crime is viewed as the only realistic way of making it at all.

The best universities are all private, as are most of the best schools. Both offer bursaries / scholarships to allow the able but poor to attend.
