Well I think so, but only partially. I personally would find it very very beatifically if college was paid for by the government because like many other students who aren't as fortunate to have a college fund we have to rely on scholarships and student loans. There are lots of bright kids that just accept the fact that they don't have money for college anyways and decide not to even try. As for me I just know i have to work ten times as hard so i can get scholarships because being in debt from student loans doesn't sound like to much fun. I would be ecstatic if someone told me my college would be completely paid for because then i could just focus on the school and work it self not if i can afford it.
The only problem is that there is a couple of down sides to "free college". Some people will take advantage of it like they already do with our lower level school systems. It's great for those who want to succeed but those that are just there because they have to be would be wasting the time and resources of the colleges. Another problem is with our financial system can barely support the school system we have much less pay for college for a bunch of kids. But the problem also lies with the colleges continually raising their prices. So this makes it much harder for people to go to college considering that college and other forms of higher education are currently not free or paid for.
