College should be free, because low income families have college ready kids. Still the kids don’t go to college, there must be something stopping these kids. The percent of people who are 25 and over that had some college is only 58.57%. These numbers decrease as the amount of college increases, this fact is very disappointing. 62% percent of people said they didn’t go to college because they thought that it was ridiculous to even think about the cost. This is so sad, to think that the people are scared to further their education because of the lifetime

The debate of whether community college should be free or not has been going on for many years. For the most part, many students have been able to have free education even if the are low income or high income. Most students are able to have equal educational opportunity to be able to learn for around 12 years. If it has been going on for 12 years, then why not make higher education free as well. In the article written by Joanne Jacobs titled, “As He Promotes It, Some Question Obama’s Free Community College Idea” discusses the main arguments on whether Obama’s plan of making community college free plan can be a benefit or a waste of money. Community college offers the ability to be able to finish one’s first 2 years of their general general education plan at a free or reduced price compared to completing general ed a a 4 year institution. Community college should be free because it allows lower income students the ability to have their tuition paid as well as their books and it allows students to be able to earn their bachelor's at a better rate.

One of the largest reasons many people oppose that college in America should become free for its first two years is the cost. “By White House estimates, the total expenditure would be about $60 billion over a 10-year period.” (Free Community College) Two factors are at question with this kind of money. First, why not use this money in other areas of our nation? 60 billion dollars could be put towards our public high schools to increase education at a younger level. It could also be put towards creating new jobs. Even if America has become more educated doesn’t mean that an abundance of

Should college be free or is it good the way it is? This is one of the most debatable questions of this generation. Like every other thing it would also have its pros and cons. Many say that it would greatly help a country while others say that nothing is truly free and someone must pay for it. However the growth of a country’s economy over the long run is miles more than the loose in the short term. So in my opinion College should be free for everyone.

State college should be free because many students exempted from college education due to the lack of money. College education is helpful in providing better employment opportuninties. It strengthen the nation as most of the people are skilled and high educated.

Typically when something is labeled as free people tend to take advantage of it, however, it’s not always in a positive way. In this day and age it has gotten increasingly difficult to obtain any type of job, especially without a degree of any sort. Which is why there has been more of a push for people to continue school and go to college, thus the debate of whether or not college should be free in an effort to make it approachable for all students. I believe community colleges shouldn’t be free due to the fact that people who are in financial need receive enough support, it’ll draw students to schools with low graduation rates, and the colleges will become overcrowded.

Introduction: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Only sixty-five percent of students graduating from High School will attend College.” That means six out of every ten of the students you went to high school with will continue their education to pursue a career. How many people in this class are currently paying for college themselves? Is anyone not sure how they are going to afford their classes next semester? Wouldn’t life be much more easier and make college a lot more appealing if it was free.

I agree, community college should be free. This gives the option to students that can't afford a 4 year university, to still being able to go to college and hopefully after two years transferring out. Community college usually helps with coming up with a plan, once you enter a 4 year university, and I am more than positive that not having to worry about paying, would relieve a lot of stress for lower income students.

Yes, college should be free. Unfortunately ideas that seem too good to be true usually are. Current democratic candidate Senator Bernie Sanders has amassed a great deal of support from young people who believe wholeheartedly that he will revolutionize America’s education system by eliminating all college tuition. In today’s competitive society a college education has never been more important, and with the rising costs of college tuition, the pursuit of higher education is becoming increasingly difficult to afford. Statistics from the Institute for College Access and Success indicate that an average of 69% of students graduate with student debt with an average amount of $28,950 per borrower. College tuition is a problem in the U.S. and Sander’s supporters have reason to be angry at the current system. The government making all college tuition free, however, will create more issues than will be solved.

As of November 2015, many states have imposed free or reduced tuition fees for students attending community college. This proposal guarantees that those who otherwise cannot afford the average University tuition costs now have the ability to get a post-secondary degree. President Obama has enacted this plan, calling for the federal government to pay for the majority of tuition costs for these students. With this support, an improvement upon community colleges, economic growth, and bringing modest income families out of the vicious cycle of not being able to afford high tuition costs will all be achievable. Republicans think otherwise, asking where this money to pay for these expensive will come from.

Many students don’t get the chance to further their academic career after high school. Some aren’t able because child care is too expensive or they have to work to support themselves. Everyone should get money for school if they need it. Some parents can’t afford to help the students pay for college, while others can. Money should be given for need rather than want. But I believe there should be stipulations to getting the free schooling. College should be free to those who want to get a degree and need the funding.

The words “free college tuition” spark interest in any college student with accumulating debt. In fact, this topic is so incredibly supported that Bernie Sanders implemented it as a core interest in his 2016 campaign. Once Hillary Clinton became the Democratic nominee, she decided to take it on herself with an extensive plan that guaranteed students free tuition. Unsurprisingly, free tuition resonates extremely well within the student demographic. To forty million Americans, free tuition eliminates the largest problem for students: debt (Hess, 2017). However, free college tuition generates the inverse of what these low-income and middle-income students believe. In fact, free college cripples them from multiple perspectives; students will end up spending more financially, will be less likely to graduate with a degree, and will be subjected to more inequality and less exposure.

Community colleges are meant to be largely funded by tuition localities and states. However, as reported by the Washington Post, this is not the case in Florida (Danielle 2016). In 2008, the counties offered no support to the community colleges because of the financial crisis. This has changed over the past few years, though very little funding is still given to the community colleges by the counties. Since community colleges are meant to offer opportunities to people who cannot continue with higher education, the needs of these students may be higher than the funding that the county offers for tuition. As a result, the community colleges are divided into bronze, silver and gold schools. The largest share is allocated to the gold schools whereas the silver and bronze receive smaller shares or none at all for the bronze schools.

First, free tuition will give everyone the opportunity to further their education and build careers without being deprived due to a lack of a degree caused by the financial burdens of tuition fees. The federal government will not be negatively affected if they offered free tuition, because they have enough money to fund colleges. Jordan Weissman, a former senior associate editor of the Atlantic who did research on how the federal government could make tuition free without extra money being spent: stated, “Here's a little known fact: “With what the federal government spent on its various and sundry student aid initiatives last year, it could have covered the tuition bill of every student at every public college in the country”. Tuition at community colleges is approximately $1,700. David Hosansky, a writer for CQ Researcher, addressed the matter of college tuition: “While tuition averages less than $3,500 per year — far lower than the $9,139 average for instate residents at a typical four-year public institution — many community college students still struggle to pay for their education” (388). Even though most colleges offer student loans, students still have to pay out of pocket for college because the amount of loans a student may take out is limited. Most student loans have to be paid back with a fluctuant interest rates. In cases as such, when students do not have the amount of funds needed by a certain due date, they get kicked out of college. Once an individual is no longer enrolled in college they have to repay the student loans they have taken out. Also, they have to pay off any remaining balances they have. Often
