Tuition subsidies are not as helpful as students believe them to be, but in fact cause more harm than good. Pursuing a higher education is a personal choice that students must take accountability for, mentally and financially. Let’s say Jill, a recent high school graduate, is considering applying to college. She evaluates her work habits, her ability to handle stress, and her motivation to complete tasks, and realizes she’s just not ready to handle the workload that comes with college courses. The logical thing for her to do is postpone her college enrollment until she’s ready.
Typically, when you find a local community college, some of their credits do not transfer or their criterion for a specific degree doesn’t match what a four-year college degree requires. This makes planning your semesters complicated and provides excess stress on the student. I plan on attending a four-year college and furthering my education, and I know that my time-frame to complete my degree will be shortened. By the time I finish at Gateway Community and Technical College, I will have completed all of my general education courses as well as obtained an Associate’s Degree. Gateway also provides a Career and Transfer Center with services available to all students; therefore, the transition into a four-year college is smooth and virtually stress-free.
I will explain these three points in my following paragraphs. In some states online school programs are available to residents for free but those programs have not been spread nationwide. Online school cost is almost equal to private school tuition. Even free programs will require you to buy your own computer, books and other supplies that might be offered at no additional cost through a traditional high school. Would you rather buying a pencil and notebook for fewer than fifteen dollars or a laptop for over two hundred dollars?
Tuition or Burglary Why is college tuition so high? Something so necessary to succeed in today’s world should not burden someone for the rest of their life; many people live with college debt until the day they die. How do colleges come up with these ridiculous prices for in-state and out-of-state tuition anyway? Should private universities be able to charge more than a state college? So, how could someone pay for it?
Without going to college, people will make minimum wage, if he/she do make good money, it is because he/she are breaking their backs for it. By attending college, a person will make more than both of these people. Also, a person could be trained in many different areas, ensuring a good career. Going to college will make getting a job in life an easy task. A person with a college education could take a good job, and will often find better ones throughout life.
People who go to college now pay to go there and if they fail a class they just wasted a lot of money. If the government paid for everyone’s education then no one would think they would have to work hard and they would think they would have to work hard and they would end up failing once they moved in to there career. The only people that deserve to go to college for free are people that earn a scholarship or those who apply for financial aide. These programs are there for the people that have the desire to go to college. Most people that think a higher education should be free are not very wealth but there are programs like financial aide to help them if they have the desire to get a higher education.
College Admissions: College Acceptance Based On A Students Wealth If you asked most students what it takes to get into college, they would instinctively rehash what had been repeated to them over and over again: If you want to get into college, you're going to need good grades and extracurricular activities! But nobody ever told these students that there was a way to bypass these requirements and guarantee your admittance. It turns out that if you are able to, you can bribe a fair amount of colleges to admit you by giving them a sizable financial donation, I'm talking in the millions. Now some people will read this and automatically think that this is unfair and wrong, but I believe allowing colleges to admit students on the grounds of financial donations rather than academic and extracurricular merit is necessary in order to increase the quality of life for all current and prospective students and could lead to a change in the way we perceive college admittance. The giant donations received from these types of students can be put to great use, one of these uses is funding scholarships.
Financial Aid for College Students Desi Curry Everest Online University ENC1101-111 Financial Aid for College Students Many people say that they cannot attend college because they can’t pay for it. I can agree that college can be expensive, but there are plenty of ways to make college affordable. The average cost of a private, four-year College is well over $20,000 per academic year. (Scholarships.org, 1999-2011) Divide this figure in half and you have the average tuition for a public university; in half again, the still formidable tuition at a community college. (Scholarships.org, 1999-2011) This can be overwhelming to some people and be a stumbling block for furthering their education.

For some people that’s the only way that they can afford to be in school. For both the pros and cons would be able to be easily researched and to find numbers to support them. People will be able to easily to connect to the issue especially if they are college students. It would be harder to get public support to get them taxed because very few people are going to be excited about getting
