Should College Education be Free?
I had chosen this topic because this is something that I was interested in learning. I wanted to see
what different people said about making college free. Many of my friends and family are going
to be in debt or already trying to pay off their loans. Many people have to find alternatives like
going to the military or not going to school at all because they can’t afford it. College should be a
place where students can get a proper education and not have to worry about paying off loans.
Many students in college already have to find jobs that are minimum wage to help pay for
college. I like this topic because I was able to learn more about the pros and cons about making
college free. I also think this topic was good to research on because if there is a way to make
college free and have people to support that idea then it is more possible to make free college
happen. The end-goal of my essay was to make more people believe in having free college, even
if it means higher tax rate or paying for it in some way. I also want my readers to see that it
definitely is possible to have free college. If college were to become free more people would be
able to get a better education and get a degree. With this essay I want more people to understand
the benefits of having free college. It does state some of the cons in my essay but most of it is
financial problems that we may face if we make college free. I found my sources by using the
UH Manoa library website and I checked online. I looked for sources that had different pros and
cons to my topic. I also looked for sources that could help me to identify why college should be
free. I also looked for certain sources that could help me to explain why free college can affect us
for better or worse. It helped me to see people’s opinions and some facts about why free college
can be good for the community and how it can affect us in bad ways. I had tried to look for
information online before I went looking for information on the UH Manoa library website. I

learned many things from my research. I learned how making college free benefit us and how it
can affect us negatively. I also learned that this year more and more people in politics are trying
to help make college free. Some challenges that I faced was finding source because a lot of the
sources had similar ideas. I also had trouble writing more than 2,000 words. I had tried to find
more sources to give me more information on the topic. My peers had stated some of my
paragraphs were too long, so I tried to shorten them by making new paragraphs. I also had some
grammatical errors that I needed to fix so I went ahead and changed my sentence structures.
