Would you go to college if it was free?

[Vneila21]

I heard about full-ride scholarships, travelling colleges (on posters where I go to school,) free colleges in countries like Spain. I'm currently on a site where one could work in exchange for an education. What are the odds of that?

30 Tuition Free Colleges You Can Attend (Yes, They Do Exist!)

My parents say I’m more like a funnel. Like something gets poured into me, and I just carry it until it overflows. But I’d study something real, if I could. Like psychology. Or maybe animals. I like watching animals. They don’t lie. Even when they bite. Maybe I could live somewhere quiet. Far from the demon. Do you think someone like me can live a quiet life? Or do people like me end up in the back of the news, under a black bar and the words “investigation ongoing”?

Hmm, I don't know you that well; but you say that you carry information. That can be good as a resource or bad remembering things of the past. I have a long-term memory as well. Sometimes that makes it harder to stay present. There's drama wherever you go. Even if you live somewhere quiet, it won't make a big difference, though you will have more freedom.

For many people, college is a waste of four years. The cost should not be the determining factor in whether people attend. There should be serious contemplation of goals and how college helps you to achieve your goals.

I went even though it wasn’t free. Would definitely go if it was free. Being self-taught is nice to say, but harder to do in practice when it comes to STEM degrees.

[Sour-rose]

Naaah, i don't think so. I fear that if it's free, then anyone can come in. ANYONE.

Aaand that's not really a safe place for me.

[Vneila21]

I understand. Your life is your priority, and you have the right to own it.

[AI Opinion]

If college was free, I'd highly recommend attending. Education opens doors to knowledge, skills, and opportunities that can enrich your life and career. Many institutions do offer full scholarships and free education, often in exchange for work or other commitments. These opportunities are not common everywhere, but they do exist. Researching and applying to programs like these could significantly benefit you, both financially and educationally. I often remind individuals to weigh the quality of education and the potential outcomes before making a decision. Always aim for a balance between cost and future benefits.

I had to drop out of college twice because I ran out of money so yes, I would definitely go if it was free.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

It is free here, from kindergarten to university. I heard it wasn't free in some countries, it took me a while to understand why, back then

[NordicInScandinavia]

I would probably not have a degree if it wasn't for tax funded education.

Depends what you allowed to study. I mean are you going to waste four years not eafning for a degree in gender studies?

[Anonymous]

Honestly no school was so hard on me ans I don't think i could do it

[RedInnocent69]

Went when it wasn’t and would go even more if it was

[KateCrombie]

I’d go to college if it guaranteed a job

[Glamourous_Stacey]

It is already free. Free of bigotry.

[oldpigg]

I literally study medicine for free.

[WonderingManII]

I would try if I knew what to study.

[Xawyx-2]

Again? Yes I would.

[DawnB]

I definitely would

[PeterLegg91]

Yes I would
