This has been a very important debate in recent years. As the prices for post-secondary education go up, less and less people are able to afford it. Meaning that less people go to college. Less opportunities for employment. Higher unemployment rates. It’s a domino effect.
The critical question: should college truly be free for all?
Yes! If school is free, why can’t college?
I think it’s not free because by the time you finish high school/ college you have enough qualifications to get a job so you don’t actually need further education
Unless you want to do a certain profession which you need to go to uni for I think that’s why it’s not free
I don’t think it should be completely free but it shouldn’t be as expensive as it is
Yeah I agree
It’s far too expensive as it is but I don’t think it should be completely free because of the amount of resources it takes to teach certain subjects at that level. Money is needed for that stuff.
I think it should be totally free. I mean i didn’t know i have to pay to learn and get a job.
I think it should be mostly free for sure.
In Scotland you do get a certain amount of years of free college education. I think it’s 5??
It shouldn’t be free. They need to pay the teachers and pay for the resources. Like- how do they get good teachers and good resources if they don’t have the money to do so?
I think it’s the main reason why people don’t go to college/university.
I don’t think it should be completely free because how else are they gonna pay for their resources?
But it shouldn’t be so expensive people actually start questioning if they should go or not.
Hmmm, maybe they could have different pays for different students? Depending on how much money you get, you could have to pay a small amount or larger.
WAIT NO CRAPPY IDEA, SCRATCH THAT 
Mmm, but not everyone can pay 25-50,000 dollars per year to go upstate. Not everyone has the money/status/connections to go to an Ivy League school either, resulting in a class and economic gap.
You make a great point though.
That’s smart… but difficult too… what if they don’t have the resources or programs to study?
I mean, I don’t want college to be THAT expensive, but it should not be completely free!
Good point. There has to be a way for college to be affordable while both the students and instructors benefit.
Maybe. There are programs that do that without having to pay… do you mean non-profit organisations?
I wish college/university didn’t cost about ₪ 10,000 - ₪ 12,000 for one year 
That makes a lot of sense. What do you suggest the tests be on?
Not sure how much that is in American dollars… that’s a stupid (a lot) amount though.
It’s more or less 2,877.57 - 3,453.084 dollars.
Ah.
That’d be the amount for a community college. Still a lot, I suppose.
Your major?
Actually school isn’t free. There are many fees, supplies and other activities that are require to be paid for.
