Free, as in, no fees at all? No.I do support higher taxes to help stymie the cost (At least for public schools)

People already think college is just a 4-year party and this will make it worse

Are you solely taking the minimum courses for the required credits for your (what I assume is a) two year degree?

Taking a simple 100 level course has gave me more knowledge than like 80% of officers on the streets, meaning I know more about the law and pose a less litigation risk for the department. On top of that, pay is like an extra $5k a year with a degree
I think you should get paid as a college student, actually.Obviously not feasible, but...>capitalism

No, but I do believe it's in the government's interest to offer student loans at 0%.

Adjusting for inflation is fine, especially if they're allowing a fairly long time to start paying it back. To put it in perspective, my student loans started accruing interest the day I took them out.
Should College in the United States be free, like Public Schools?
