College tuition should be lowered. Many students are in debt before they even start a real job or make money for themselves. Students who go to college have to take out loans and borrow money just to get an education. Tuition should be lowered so that college is affordable and students will not be drowning in debt after they complete college.
Many students pay for their own college. When students start college they are around the age 18 so they would only have 2 years prior to college to work. Working 2 years at minimum wage is not enough to even pay for a year of school at most colleges. Students in college would never be able to get the funds for four years of college in that short amount of time. Why should students have to pay $100,000+ just for an education?
This is important because 70% of students are in debt with many loans after college. On average it takes people 21 years to pay off their student loans. This means that you will still be paying off loans well into your 40's. How are students able to pay for food on the table, put a roof over their heads or have a family if they are still trying to pay off thousands of dollars in loans. If colleges lowered their tuitions it would help students be able to afford other thing like food and housing. Students after college would be able to focus on getting a real well-paying job after college instead of worrying how they are going to pay for college. Students in college will also be able to just focus on their classes and studying if tuition was lowered because they would not be worried about how they are going to pay for classes at that moment.
