Benefits Of Community College

Being a high school senior it would be amazing for college to be free, but if we really think about it. There is a lot more going into it than just free community college. The money has to come from somewhere if President wants to make it free for students to go to community. A lot of people do not think about the consciences or the aftermath of this plan. They are just paying attention to solving one problem, but do not stop and think about the rest of the problems that are going to raise when they make going to community college for free. As a student, I strongly disagree with making community college free because it is going to cause more problems.
Community college is fairly cheap as of right now, which is why the colleges are already crowded.
“The White House estimates that this would cost 60 billion dollars over ten years” (Jacobs). I think a lot of people are so excited about free community college that they forget that it is still going to cost money and the government is going to have to come up with it one way or another. To be frankly honest, the government is just going to raise the taxes on everyone so it can be easier to pay the 60 billion dollars, which if we think about where the money is coming from then it does not make going to community college free. Instead of the students paying start to community college now it is going to be that everyone has to pay higher taxes to the government to still pay for the cost of college. I am also afraid that if the government makes community college free than they are going to start forcing high school students to attend community college, which it just makes it high school all over again just that everyone is going to be a little
For example, it would be exceptional if the government made going to universities cheaper because it would make it easier for a lot students to decide and go to an university instead of a community college. I know that some of my cousins and my brother settled for the community college route not because of their grades or not getting accepted to an university, but because they could not afford to go to an university at that time. Especially, being first generation college students it's harder for the students to convince their parents in paying thousands and thousands of dollars to go to an university. A lot more people would end up going to a CSU or Uc if the tuition was a lot cheaper because even with financial aid it does not cover everything. Especially if the have to live in dorms for their first year as some universities
