N.J's blog Free tuition is arguing for free tuition for college students but not for the wealth. After reading this, I'm thinking okay yes its going to be a lot more helpful for us, if college was free. Yes we all can't afford it and sometimes financial aid just doesn't cover the whole tuition and books, but should it be free? Why did they make higher education costly in the first place? N.J doesn't exactly provide us with this information and other background and research for both sides of the argument. Personally I think that it would be pretty awesome if we didn't have to pay and the wealth did because it really isn't fare for a smart kid from a low income family to not be able to go to the school of their dreams just because their family doesn't make much and the kid whose parents make bundles is able to go to a high standard college. The only thing is, is that if college was free than just anyone would go goof off and drop out. You hear people say its your money, your time, your choice if you want to fail or not and when its them paying for it, they tend to work harder for the grade. So if its free some might not take it as seriously, but maybe if your household makes under so much a year than it should be free or at least financial aid should cover the tuition and books and a little more.
