We encourage a diverse mix of students, staff, faculty, and community members to participate in the Q&A portion of our Oxford Style debate.

Resolved: Tuition should be free for students attending two-year community/technical colleges.

College tuition has always been a touchy subject, so many people have been raising the idea that tuition should be free for those who attend two-year/technical colleges since most students who decide to attend these schools, take the money into consideration. Many families struggle to send their children to four year universities, as well as two-year/technical colleges. Allowing these student’s tuition to be covered would allow so many more students the opportunity to further their education, without the constant worry of paying off the fees. On the other hand, many also argue that students who attend Four year Universities should have tuition free school because of their desire to further the education but the same worry of not having the funds or needing to take out mountains of loans.
