Should College Be Free?

Discussion

The cost of college has spiked in the last 30 years. And the price tag isn’t dropping anytime soon, due to increased demand, more available financial aid, and lack of state funding. One answer is tuition-free college paid for by the government. But “free” college really isn’t free. That money has to come from somewhere. Is free college really as good as it sounds?
