Why college should not be free?

Answer 1

College is not required for people to attend ( only 25% of the population have a degree) and to provide a higher level of education also requires people who have an expertise in their subject areas. They do not work for free and should be paid for what they know. The library and research facilities need to be modern and up to date for student use. This is also expensive. There is one final reason is that when someone has to work hard for something they appreciate it more than if it was free. A college education is to expand the mind, provide higher learning experiences, and to give a foundation for a profession. It is not to go play, party, or to meet someone.

Answer 2

It would be nice if this is so but it is unreasonable to expect it to be free. Even elementary and high schooling isn't free. You must pay taxes and some of these go to pay for that. As far as college goes, there would be a need for more taxes for that. People would most like not like having to pay for college if their own children don't go. That means that tuition for college students must be paid by those students in one way or another.
