College Tuition

​Did you know notice that there’s a difference between Private and Publics’ college debt? To

pay any Private colleges cost about $34,740. For any Public Colleges in the state, it cost $9,970.

If you want to go to out-state colleges, it cost about $25,620. The college charges fees for

services like the library, campus transportation, student government, and athletic facilities. If the

student goes to any colleges, they would have to buy food and for college supplies. Students

can't afford any of colleges that cost so much money unless people would donate money to the

students. Why can't the government give free supplies at least to the college students that they

need through the year for college? For my agreement, colleges supplies should be free for any

college students.

​Paying for college​ is expensive, and many families are feeling the pinch as tuition costs s​oar.

College tuition prices are a lot higher today compared with two decades ago. For instance, the

average cost for tuition and fees among ​National Universities​ – private and public – has ​risen

significantly since the late 1990s​, according to U.S. News data”(cite)”. Those increases aren't

limited to these universities; costs at other four-year institutions and community colleges have

also grown. Students are overwhelmed that they can’t afford resources textbooks and everything

should be free for college students.

​Public college should be free for eligible students because it would stimulate the economy

by giving young Americans more disposable income, reduce the federal poverty rate by

permitting low-income students to attend school, and spur American growth and

innovation by creating a better-educated workforce.

 ​ America has more than $1.4 trillion in unpaid education debt, according to the Federal

Reserve. Some students can’t afford money for any colleges. Families try to avoid going into

debt by heeding advice like “ save money”, “ apply for scholarship”, or “go to cheap colleges”.

College Tuition is increasing today. Those increases aren't limited to these universities; costs at

other four-year institutions and community colleges have also grown. The higher education

policy analysts say most of the hikes in tuition among private and public four-year institutions

coincided with the Great Recession. With higher tuition costs, more students are determining

their college selection based on price. Tuition and fees vary from college to college. The college

tuition needs to decrease or free. It’s pointless to cost over thousands of dollars to go to any

college.

​ ​Student loan debt is accelerating so fast that it has become a burden on the U.S. economy. It

will reduce the poverty rate by the ​movement to make college free may continue to grow, but a

recent st​udy and has found that students benefit far more when schools spend to improve their

academics rather than lower their prices.. Over the years, the debts are increasing so high that

students have dropped out of college and can’t afford money for supplies. Saying that someone

can’t afford something means that they don’t have the money to afford something. If students

have scholarships, then a college student shouldn’t pay for their college debts ethier. Eligible

students need a home of education because some students do care about college and what they

dreamed of what they wanted to be or where to be. Many students graduation from college but

does not have a job. It can come with a pile of student loan debt. A college education is an

important for eligible college students. About 70% of college graduates leave school with student

loan debt that averaged of $38,000 (cite).. Numbers go up or down based on how much they
actually have to borrow to get through college, but with more than 30% of graduates leave

school with more than $30,000 in debt (cite). . The average cost of college shows 2014 and 2015

was $11,052 for Public 2-yr, $18,943 for 4 yr-(n-state), $32,762 for public 4 yr (out-of-state),

and for private $42,419 4-yr.

Education should be free because college is already so expensive. College students have the

rights to protest for what they believe. The government needs to stop increasing for the college

debts. We need equal rights for free tuition. The debts for college needs to stop. If schools are

free than college should be free also. School and Colleges should be free for eligible students. If

students from households that can afford to pay should pay. Education should one of human

rights. If education was free all children would have an education. Children of all cultures will be
able to meet new people and no one will be excluded for their differences. Education is very

important for the prosperity of a particular nation as we can see that all those nations who gained

success are just because of education. Every time I see eligible students outside in school, I

actually can see that students do care about their education towards them. When students

graduate, I can see that they don’t know what to do next in their lives whether they choose to

finish an education or do nothing in their lives. It’s because some students can or can’t afford

money to go any colleges that they dreamed of or can’t go because their parents can’t let them

have that much money that they can’t afford to the beginning or at the end of their college.

price of college may seem overwhelming, but college educations come at many different price

levels, and financial aid can greatly reduce your cost. I wrote this quote for everyone and myself

too, “ I want all tuition to stop growing.” It’s true. It needs to stop increasing the debts. Students

have the ability to attend free college. The government doesn’t need money from any students.

The topic of “College Tuition” matters to our lives. We need to finish education strong, not

weak. It’s important to us and the income. Education is a better life skill. You should finish your

education, by speaking volumes on your resume that go beyond the program you studied and

your grades. You finish things you start, you should believe in continuous learning, and you’re

smart enough to get the through-post secondary education. It should concern our college students

that want to go to any colleges. Why? Well, it’s because students to understand the feeling of

crisis that many see in higher education right now. Finish education strong and be successful. Do

it for your families and yourself to think and remind yourself that what you started and how you

ended it.
