I'm at loss of words for the idiocy of people that seem to actually believe this.

God, what has the world turned into. All I see everywhere around me is people too lazy to live even the most mediocre of lives.

You tax the rich kids on Wall Street and use that money to pay for it. At least that's Sanders' plan in a nutshell.

People make a choice to go to university. I wasn't aware that people that willingly wanted to educate themselves could be described as "lazy" or "mediocre".
Really, now.

agreed, im desperate to learn stuff, but i just cant because im not some rich kid

"Work for a job"

first of all its not fair that some kids can just have their parents pay for their college right away after they graduate for high school, while i have to work a few years after high school to have the privilege of doing college
i cant find a job because of the crappy circumstances ive been put in, im not even joking, im 100% sure that there is no equal opportunity

college isn't that expensive if you apply yourself in high school and get subsidies + scholarships

i got 30k off for just living in the same state and applying to random scholarships, didn't even apply myself

Free college is very possible. The US government spends 69 billion on higher education already -- free tuition would cost another 62 billion on top of that (and probably less, because of all the loans in the 69 billion that would no longer exist).
Source: "Here's Exactly How Much the Government Would Have to Spend to Make Public College Tuition-Free" by The Atlantic.

Even fixing small loopholes that allow some corporations to avoid some taxes would give the US that money, same with reducing the size of the military.

awards don't do much

colleges love students who are in a ton of extracurricular activities

+ you could commute
+ working on campus does a lot
+ loans, which do suck after tho
+ gov subsidies
+ go to a community college for 2 years then get sent to a better local college for very cheap

well they gave me awards for my academic achievements, because my grades in different classes were so high, thats what i meant
even if i could afford it i would have to like move into a dorm because like i have no mode of transport that would make sense

well if you are a white male you're pretty screwed as colleges don't want us, as they want diversity

but my friend managed to make it into a fairly expensive school and she comes from a poor family

but everyones story is different

i dont get free college/university either WHEN I SHOULD
this very well applies to me because i suffer similarly to an american in the same situation as me, though americans probably have it harder because thats a less developed country than my own

honestly paying $100 on a book is rediculous

ESPECIALLY when you only needed the book for that one paragraph in page 59
