I just finished paying for first semester bill for college, 15k. As a suny school that’s a lot. I believe college shouldn’t cost a dime, some countries have free college BUT their taxes are higher so it can even out. I live in the us, i live in the city. Why am i paying an annual salary for a job i wont be starting for another 10 years? AND for you to take half my earnings? Some people do get free college due to lifestyles or background but you still have to pay for the small fees, like my meal plan was paid for and all my books, that’s 7k$ FOR ONE SEMESTER. That’s insane and i honestly think since so many people think college is a scam, if we were to make it free we wouldn’t have a low employment rate bc people would be able to pursue their dream job free of charge
