thats what college loans and finacial aid is for. the economy is already bad, and this would make it worse. and plus, not everybody was ment to go to college.this would ruin the purpose of going to college. dont people go to college so they can make more money in the future and get a good job? with this, everybody would want to go to college,making it harder for you to get a job when you graduate cause there would be more to choose from.Might as well not go to college and get 4 years of work experiance instead.

Side: No

yes because if the government pays the tuition more people would go to college because they won't have to worry about wasting or loosing their money in case they decide to quit, because many people don't go because they they think that they are not smart enought to make it thru and that they are wasting money and loosing time and if they know that is free I think that there would be more people interested in taking a try..

Side: yes

i think they should but just to the students who have good greades and really want to go to college, because if they give you the money to go to college but your just going to be with your friends your going to keep students who really need the money from going to college!

Side: yes

Side: yes

Yes i think the government should pay for college. But, only to those who will pass the classes and want to go. If it is free poeple that dont really want to go will go and are just going to waste the professor time and the governments money.

Everyone needs a good education. And if a person is willing to go to college money should not hold them back from going, so the government should pay for it.

everybody deserves a chance to better themselves and not being able to pay for it stops alot of people from doing that.

If the government would give free college tuition there should be certain standards in order to recieve this privelege. A student who barely passed hs or had low grades shoulnt be given that right.

Side: yes
1 point

Yes, because not every one can afford college and not every one is able to get a scholarship and the free college tuition would help all those citizens who can't afford college, those who can't get a scholarship, and those who really want to go to a university and not just to a community college. If there is free college tuition for all citizens, there would be more citizens with carreers and better jobs and it would help the nation.

Side: yes

because some people can not afford to go to college...everyone should be able to school

Side: yes

hounestly i think so beause not every one can afford it also some people can get loans or aid with it and then what we dont get to go to school and then what were stuck as minimum wage workers doing nothing in life! I mean im tierd and dont want to flip burgers the rest of my life! Think about it you went to collage got your education and became a teacher but imagin not being able to go were would you be! Yay thats what i thought!

Side: yes

Yes because some people may not be as fortunate as others. Everyone should be able to go to college, therefore the government should provide free tuition because if someone is willing to work hard to go to college then they deserve it to go. :)

Side: yes

yes because many people dont have enough money to go to college, but this would help a lot of people out. Its not like everyone would still want to go to college so its not like the goverments going to have to give it it everyone.

Side: yes

i think money shouldnt be the reason sombody cant be what they want. with that being said school should be free through out college like it is when your in high school =)

Side: yes

yes, i personally think that if the goverment provide free college tuition for all citizens, all the students could have the oportunity to study and to be a better person, because i think that many students don't go to the college because they don't have enough money and for that reason is that many student now are working and leaving without dreams.

Side: yes

YES I THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PAY FOR COLLEGE TUITION, BECAUSE THAT WAY ALL YOUNG AMERICANS TO CAN BE ABLE TO ACHIVE THEIR GOALS AND BE ABLE TO FOLLW THEIR DREAMS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS OF FINANCIAL STUFF. SO INSTEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT TAKING ALL OUR MONEY AND SPENDING IT ON NON SENSE STUFF THEY SHOULD DO SOMETHING FOR THEIR PEOPLE.

Side: yes
1 point

i chose yes because if the government provide free college tuition for all citienz then everybody will have the opportunity to go to college especially most poor people who could not afford it and all so the only thing they can worry about is how to pay car and house bills and also if college tuition was free then for all i think the world would be a better place than it is now.

Side: yes

i think the government should give free college tuition beacause , many people want to go to college to get a good education to have a better future for them selves, but the only thing stopping them from getting a education is not having money to go to college

Side: yes
1 point

Yes! There are many people in the world that cannot afford college and it would give others a chance to attempt college and their goals. If the goverment can provide the free college then the future will be more successful and give others less stress about scholarships and loans.

Side: yes

yes, because alot of people want to go to collage but they dont have the money for it. And so they dont go and thats why alot of peole work in fastfood restaurants. but if they go to collage they could have better jobs, and earn more money and have more oppertunities.

Side: yes
1 point

Yes because we are already paying through out our all the schooling we are in. So we should get to go for free because we are going to learn something that is going to help the world in some way we should not pay to learn because we have already done that. Also college student are already in debt.

Side: yes

i think the goverment should provide free collage tuition for all citizens because every body has the apportunity to be some body in life and some dont have the money to go thats why they just finish high school and they stop studying and theirs only a few people with desent jobs.

I do not support the thought of the government giving all citizens a paid in full ride for any college tuition. Because as someone else mentioned people would take advantage of that. People would probably go to any college of choice and flunk and and not care at all because it was free to them. I think the government should find the people in need of this opportuinity. And find the people that have been trying to apply and that cant afford it and that want to be someone importnt to the society.!!!!

Side: No

i dont think that the government should provide free college tuition for ALL citizens. Just to those who actually need it. Because people who have the money want to take advantage of free money to just party and not go because they say " i didnt pay for it so i dont care"

they should give it to the citizens who cant afford it. and actually know who want to make something of themselves.

No because with the government handing out free things there's always some kind of catch or strings attached. And these days you can't truely trust the government.

No there shouldn't be free college tuition for all citizens. Don't get me wrong. I'm not rich I want free college tuition but if there was free college tuition everybody with have a "high" education. So if everyone is qualified for a good job who will take the low-paying jobs? The tuition would waste colleges time because if there was a free tuition than people that aren't even that interested would go to college. They Fail and waste the goverments money. It's not fair that two people, one hard-working and one lazy, have the same education.

The government should not provide free college tuition for all citzens because i think that if you pay for it than you will take the advantage and want to learn instead of the tuition being free then you wouldnt take it seriously!

The government should not provide free college tuition to all citizens, because everyone needs to work for it by either filling out an application or writting an essay.

I dont think the government should provide free college tuition for all students because by providing free tuition will only greater deflate our economy which is already leading to another Great Depression. Although many citizens decide to not go to college because of the expenses, the government already provides enough grants and scholarships to help pay for their education, and if students are really serious about their education then they would strive go recieve the scholarships and grants.

Side: No

I don't think that the government should provide free tuition because if the government give free tuition then everyone is gonna graduated as a consequence there are gonna be a lot of unemployed people which is gonna affect our economy .

But, I think that the government should give more scholarships because scholarships help people who are capable of study and do not have a lot of money to do it.

I do not believe that the government should provide free college tutition for all citizen. People should be able to earn their own money for college. You should be able to work for your education, that way when you get your education you know that you really deserved it because you worked for it. Having the strength to get your own education can really inspire people to do their best. If the government just gave citizens free college tution then the students will not try as hard because it was just handed to them and they did not earn anything so it will not mean as much.

I don't think the goverment should provide FREE tuition, because if the goverment starts providind free tuition everyone would take advantage of the he oportunity. Also fit wouldn't be fair for the people who work hard to get it. I think the goverment should give free tuition to pleople that are going to work hard on it not to those that just want to get it cause is free.

Nah bro, can't do that. As much as it would help me, it wouldn't be such a good idea. There would be so many people graduating which would mean much less jobs. What would be the point in going if you have no sure job after those four years?

Free tuition would completely ruin the college system. Scholarships, grants, the SAT, and other reasons that students work hard in school would lose importance due to guarenteed access to higher education. Society would become lazy and igorant because there would be no reason to challenge yourself, or prove your worth.

I think the education is very important for every citizen, but I believe there are people that really has to earn a college or something, instead there are citizens who have more conveniences, so if given the payment of school free for all, would be a useless expense, and yet many people would not study for lack of economic resources. Besides the government would not have a very favorable economic status for the country, having to give everything free.

I therefore believe that the government help citizens including immigrants with low incomes to get a free college tuition.

Side: yes

I do not think that the goverment should pay for everyone's tuition. The money that the school gets from us the people provide better education for; books, decorating, having fun, Awesome food, and the professors pay checks. These professors work there whole lives learning and it's nice of them to share there knowledge with us. If the goverement pays for our colleges the United States will get even more broke than before. I do think some people should get full ride though especially, the people who have hard lives or do not, but they desire there whole lives to go, and work to there best ability knowing that maybe there excllence will pay off. Those who work hard deserves a reward for there high grades in school, the ability to help people, and at the same time having a job to earn extra cash or support family. If the goverment pays for school, the kids will be, like in High School where they don't give a care in the world they will be wasting money. When they make us pay it makes us work harder knowing it's our money. If we want a good living it is our choice it is letting us know how the real world is.
