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?
Comments
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.
Irina: Germany is not socialist and it is practically for free, even UK is cheaper
Emily: So America is socialist now?
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
Aud: College definitely should be lowered. All of my paychecks go towards tuition and I only have about $3 left for myself. It induces sadness
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
Mj1994: Bernie Sanders for president of you agree! He has a tax plan that will pay for it:)
NMGreenChile: The US federal gov't is currently trying trying to help all US public community colleges become tuition-free. This would allow students to graduate either w/ an associate degree, get major job training, or have 2 years of basic requirements complete enroute to a 4-yr degree. (California did this for years until a disastrous tax change ruined it, in part.) College costs, IMO, have become a disgrace & will ultimately harm the American future in many ways.
Kiana: I live in Australia, and we allow you to go to uni (college) and not pay tuition fees until you are earning $50k per annum, so you can pay it off yourself once you're better prepared, instead of paying upfront like in America.
Sadie: Who's going to pay for students to go to college for free?
