Pros And Cons Of Free Tuition In College

Agree or Disagree: Free Tuition in College

Seventy-two percent of Democrats support the idea of the government taking over college and university payments, while 73 percent of Republicans oppose it. Independents are divided, 40 percent in favor and 42 percent is against free college (Cohen) . There is a smaller percentage of people who approves.

Still, there might be a division of people who sympathizes in two groups (which are those who agrees and disagrees) for they can see and predict what would possibly be the result of a free debt for college, but no matter where they look forward to, at the end, the government is still the one to decide whether to pursue a free tuition in college or not.
