Free Community College

Community College is a great opportunity for many to get your degree at a very cheap price. It is an opportunity for lower income families students to be successful. I simply disagree with the fact of making community college free for students because it has been proven that the success rate at America's community college's is extremely low.

Furthermore, it would be a waste of time and tax dollars of hardworking middle-class Americans. As it said in the essay topic, "the success rate at America's community colleges is abysmally low.

Community College is affordable as it is, I do not believe that we should make it free because of the many negative effects it will have on the American
