There has always been a debate on whether we should have free college tuition or not. The government has made it very difficult for us to go to college and follow our dreams in becoming what we want. Many have failed to succeed due to minor issues that include money. School in my opinion should be free but that will never happen.

Making an entry exam for them like they already do but raising the score a bit can help these universities out. This means universities will benefit from this due to higher graduating rates. Only reasons why majority of their percentage rates are low is to the little percentage of students who drop out not because personal issues but from the ones who just went to have fun and waste time.
In summation, I strongly oppose that college should be based on how much you make. College should be free for all students with different criteria to get in. Also, not
