Almost ¾ of all students attending four year universities had major student loan debt over the last couple of years. Currently this country is one of the most expensive country to go to college in, there are only some countries that are more expensive. If we do not do something about these college costs then all of our country will suffer in the end. However there is a way to avoid that outcome, if we make college free or extremely subsidized for those who need it, then we could have the potential to be the best educated country in the world. Although providing free higher education has to receive some funding from the taxpayers, higher education will be beneficial to all of the people who take advantage of it.
