I think in the begining of your college carrer you should pay,but the farther you go the cheaper it should be.The farther you go,the harder college is, so you should get credit for that.Everybody that gets their masters has not made it with no problems.There are students with masters,that are unemployed.

I think in the future college should be just like high school. It is required but you still have to pay for it. All schools need money and if the colleges will get no money then where will the money come from, the government. In the shape the government is in college will never be free.

I think that first years you should have to pay, but if u stick with the same school they the price should go down.

College should be free. Not everyone can afford it. Now days, you need a good degree to get a decent job. There are other ways, such as grades, to determine the school someone will attend, that way there won't be too many people at one school.

Any kind of education should be free. I think that if the college students or their parents have enough money to donate money to the school that would be better than making someone pay when they have no money to start with. It may put a strain on things but education is very important to be somebody these days.

I think college shouldnt be free to anyone. why should one person get a free education when a different individual has to pay and be in debt for years. and it shouldnt be required after high school it should still be a choice. if u want a good education then u should pay for it nothing come free in this world. thats why the schools have financial aid and scholarships to help threw school. if they hand out one thing free then everybody will want more handouts

i believe college should be cheaper. we wouldn't be able to further our education if they college's couldn't fund themselves so they have to have multiple sources of income. but with all the financial aid, grants and scholarships today so much of a students tuiton can be paid for and if most students would call the schools and talk with them it'd be simple to work out an arragment to make the tuiton payments.

I think college should be free but in some way I think if we didn’t pay for school how would the instructors get paid.

The kids that excell academically should be given a free college education. It should not be based on income. We need to reward academic excellence with the opportunity to advance your education.

I think that the government should have to pay for people to further their education.By doing this it might entice more people to further their education.

Nothing in life is free. If you choose to attend school, then it's your responsibility to pay for it. The government can only help so much, and if it was free, people would take advantage of it, by skipping, dropping out or just flat out wasting tax payers money. The government has many different programs for getting you loans,and gives you plenty of time to pay it back. Getting an education will give you plenty of opportunities to get your money back, so stop questioning the way the system is, and open your wallet.
