its just a business to earn profits tbh..colleges and uni's now focus on making their campus look more attractive rather then getting better teachers and things to give students a better knowledge

Suny colleges are non profit How else would they get the money to pay for the expenses to support your education other than raising taxes. Even if they do make a profit suny schools are owned by the state making the money instead going into other programs.

I don’t think college should be free bc you’re already studying for free up until high school and you don’t really need to go to college to get a job whatsoever. It just shouldn’t be as expensive as it is in certain countries.

@sageisland-80 yea i know how it works……

happybeacon-57

No you don’t need to go to uni for skilled jobs, there’s plenty of other options to get a diploma. It’s just that uni is talked about the most so everyone plans to go to uni.
