Should there be a tuition for college? Some say that it discriminates against those who lack opportunities and financial stability. While others say it prepares you for a society where nothing is free. What do you say?

College should be free!
I'm right now at a community college because I can't afford to attend a public four year university. The prices that you have to pay not just for your class but for your books is crazy! I live in Georgia now and they've just changed the financial aid (HOPE) that if you did not graduate high school from Georgia you have to wait two years to get any sort of money. Where just a couple of months ago you only had to be here a year. In June I'll be a resident of Georgia and i will not get any money because I graduated in Florida. So I've had to apply for FAFSA, and hope that i'm poor enough to get a good amount of money to pay for some of my classes. If college was free do you know how many people would attend...alot. Do you know what that would do to our society...maybe make us smarter. |

Do you know what that would do to our society...maybe make us smarter. Shitty example, but here goes... if cars were free, you know how many people would go out and get some cars? A lot. Oh wait, but then who's gonna pay for the cost of the cars? Who's gonna make the cars for free? As horrible as it might sound, education is a commodity. You're paying for the value of your degree. If college was free, more people would want to attend, but less people would be accepted to cover for costs. The quality of professors, programs, etc will go down. Taxpayer dollars will go up. How is this any better? |
