Free Public College

there's different factors that come into play if college tuition is free. albeit i would love to be able to not pay for college, theres one thing a profit based system protects. That one thing is that the lower the cost of tuition of a class is, the higher the chance someone will take a class slot and potentially drop the class later on, wasting that slot. Since they aren't paying for the class, the sense of money loss ins't as great as those who say pay 2-4k for a class, and feel they wasted 2-4k because they are failing a class. the people who actually pay for the classes are generally more serious about their work.

We used to have that problem some years ago here when public superior education was basically free and even gave free place to stay and food. I think that the problem is that people don't appreciate education itself but rather the free stuff that would come with it. Which is easily solved, at least it was here, when it stopped being completely free and became dirt cheap but getting accepted in a public university is hard and staying there is even harder. Those "different aspects" that seem problematic are easily solved so I don't see in that a reason to oppose to it.

Also, not even as an argument but just stating my opinion, thinking of your education in terms of spending money for a class is quite sad.
