@lastone03 I completely agree with you. I stated it in an earlier post. I am not in favor of free college. Students and their families need to have some skin in the game so they don’t treat college like a free four year vacation. My qualm is that the current system really makes it almost impossible for a student, without family money, to pay for a four year education at a state school, especially if that includes room and board. Some students simply don’t have the option of commuting. I would like a system in place so that college ready kids can combine work and loans to pay for their own educations at public institutions. I don’t know exactly what that would look like, but I am definitely NOT in favor of free.
