Free College for Everyone

Free college for everyone

Albert Einstein once said “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think”. Although college is paid for by the individual, it should be paid for by the government because some people might not have a family that can’t help support the cost, or high-paying jobs. The first reason why college should be free to everyone is because many students find that it is extremely difficult to find the money to pay for an expensive education, so they look for school loans. These loans can weigh heavily on the minds of college students and put too much pressure that lead to students dropping out. So, free higher education is necessary for everyone. College provides both undergraduate education and postgraduate education. ‘College is free’ means that access to higher education should be available to all who desire it and should be available without regard to ability to pay.

That is the reason for many college dropouts. Fees are usually very high. When students go to college, they realize that it is too difficult to find the funds to pay for the college admittance fee. They will search for school loans. Student loans are the great help if students need some financial assistance to get through College. These loans can weigh heavily on the minds of college students, and put unreasonable amounts of pressure to lead to students dropping out to earn money and pay back their student loans.
