I can't argue with you on this one. If America wants to better it's situation they need to start
educating the people with in the country. It would solve a lot of problems, and only better our
society. |

Every country wants its citizens to be highly educated. But it is not always possible to make this
happen because of the day by day rising cost of higher education. Some students may raise their
voice for the requirement of free higher education but according to my point of view, this is not a
really possible thing to make the higher education penniless. Reality tells us this. It can be made
into a low cost to have the higher college education, but free I think and firmly believe not
possible. A matured student can earn the money of his higher education if the cost can be reduced.
If the education made fully free of cost, the lack of responsibility can be grown up among the mind
of the students. So thinking the whole matter, I must say that higher education should not be made
free. |

I agree with Daypack. There is a reason behind tuition. It cost a lot of money to effectively run
and maintain an entire university. Therefore, they depend on the tuition money to fund programs,
create programs, and help students succeed in college. If tuition were to become free, the
universities and colleges would lose many of its programs and options.
One thing I am against is the price for college textbooks. Students already pay thousands of dollars
for their tuition, but to pay hundreds of dollars for one text book is crazy (especially if it is a
class outside of ones major). At my school, some textbooks range from $300-$500 per book. No book is
really worth that much. They hike the book prices up more than 100%. I just don't understand why. |

There is no way to make a university education free of charge in the United States, because many
American colleges are privately owned and operated. Although it may be possible to scrap tuition at
larger, state universities, this would greatly lower the quality of education, facilities and
services in these schools. It would also create two distinct classes of universities--namely,
privately owned colleges, that would have adequate funds to hire professors, update facilities and
offer quality student services, and state-run institutions, which would not have a budget for such
improvements.
Tuition is undeniably high in the United States, but we should keep in mind two things. First, many
students receive academic or sports scholarships when they are accepted and these tend to defray
some of the costs of a higher education. Second, students at the postgraduate level frequently
receive a full tuition waiver, which means that they do not pay fees to begin with, and are also
often offered employment as a teaching assistant. |

In today’s money minded world the value of an object is determined by its price. By attaching a
price to education the educational institutions commit students to their studies. It is true that
for many students the only motivation for studying hard or studying at all is the money that their
parents have spent on their education. Then there is the cost of providing education that the
colleges have to bear.
Providing education free of cost if not a feasible idea but cost controls are surely the need of the
hour. The educational costs and tuition fee etc need to be substantially reduced. |

Tuition prices may have been spiking recently, but there's good reason behind that. Consider all
that an accredited university spends on: Housing upkeep, food for its students, faculty, and staff,
paying for professors that are as equally renowned and well-known, maintaining laboratory and
research centers, running university-wide buses (if they do), and the recent upgrade to higher
technology, including Internet, thousands of computers (and upgrading/maintaining them), IT
professionals, digital projectors, and much more. There's a lot of spending that goes on there, and
if you're going to go to college, you should pay to be a part of all that you get back. |
