If you're a college student in America, you're probably used to being broke. It's not because you're lazy. It's because it costs a ridiculous amount of money to attend a university./filters:quality(70)/content/jy/zm/ln1ybwwz5645f44bcfefb115898508_600x401.jpg)
That's why there was recently a campus democracy rally in Ohio. According to Reuters, "The demonstrations, dubbed the Million Student March, were planned just two days after thousands of fast-food workers took to the streets in a nationwide day of action pushing for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and union rights for the industry."/filters:quality(70)/content/dn/xh/vkyorfwi5645f44b8925b493215667_600x411.jpg)
"Organizers are demanding tuition-free public colleges, cancellation of all student debt and a $15-an-hour minimum wage for campus workers."
Do you think that the price of college should be lowered?

Emily: So America is socialist now?
st_cruz: @Emily Weishaupt Actually, it most likely would. But even if it wouldn't, it would still greatly make it more affordable and open up the opportunity to many more. Which would be nice, I'd assume you'd agree.
Emily: If students don't pay for their own tuition then who does? The government? That'll sure fix the $18 trillion debt!👍
Sumer: America has always been capitalist with socialist tendencies just think about all the government funded groups I don't think it would hurt to cut back in certain areas to help college kids
sonya: I agree to a certain extent; however some companies will pay for a student to go for free or just give them a scholarship or grant In return they will be employed by the company I wish more companies did this because college is expensive
st_cruz: @k-dizzle Same in my state. I don't think you understand how expensive college is. For my career I need to go to a university. Community colleges only offer associate degrees which are worth little to nothing. Instate? Pfft. Still costs around 20,000 to 60,000. Even with fafsa and scholarships, you still need to pay thousands upfront. If college becomes more affordable, it's not out of your taxes, it's on the taxes of the top 1%. Don't come around with you self righteous bullshit if all you're going to say is that people just shouldn't go to college in pursuit of their careers and dreams if they don't have the money. Because not many have the money, even with tons of financial aid and scholarships. Very very very very few get full rides to colleges off of some scholarship, those aren't just handed out. You compete for them with thousands of others.
Sasa: It is what it is... Your education is forever! Just don't major in "decision "sciences as list in one of the 33 strange majors.
Kiana: That's sort of along the lines of what happens here
Emily: @st_cruz I sure as hell don't want to tax the upper class to pay for my college tuition because they don't deserve the punishment
st_cruz: @k-dizzle That's WAY easier said than done. You need an education to get a career unless you have some kind of connection to larger businesses. It's not easy, every college in America is expensive even if it's community. Don't be so condescending when people can't afford things, not everyone is so damn fortunate.
