Scholarships help with these, yes, but giving students free college will help students tremendously by allowing to not worry about tuition and allocate their money somewhere else. Additionally, other countries allow free college and attract thousands of students. For example, Germany does this by allowing mostly free college and only with a small fee and Germany attracts many students into college.

I'm all for college education being more affordable for everyone, but where is the money to send everyone to college for free going to come from? It also would not be fair to the generations of Americans who had to pay back student loans if everyone would now be allowed to attend college for free. I think college tuition and the interest rates on student loans should be significantly reduced, but we can't make everything free. Colleges rely on tuition to maintain their campuses and provide students with services, clubs, sports, etc.

I agree. As a student who does not receive government aid and instead has a scholarship that helps, money is a real worry. My scholarship helps, but it doesn't cover the full cost of my university. In today's world, very few jobs can be obtained without at least a bachelor's degree, but the cost of these degrees is still high and continues to increase. Many other countries around the world implement free higher education, or for a very low cost.

I agree with this comment about Free College for All because paying for college doesn’t last forever—once you reach your aggregate limit, your options become very limited, even if you’re motivated and doing well academically. I’ve personally experienced how frustrating it is to want to continue your education but run into financial barriers that are completely out of your control. Education shouldn’t stop because someone has hit a funding cap. Sharing experiences like this matters, and I appreciate the author for speaking up, because it helps others realize they’re not alone in facing these challenges.
