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.
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."
"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?

@st_cruz I understand that they would raise taxes but even taxing the upper class won't be enough to pay for every student's college.

@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

Germany is not socialist and it is practically for free, even UK is cheaper

@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.

Yes and I believe the minimum wage should be $15

If students don't pay for their own tuition then who does? The government? That'll sure fix the $18 trillion debt!πŸ‘

@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.

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

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.

College definitely should be lowered. All of my paychecks go towards tuition and I only have about $3 left for myself. It induces sadness
