TELL US WHAT YOU THINK: Free college tuition Germany has never been known for having high tuition costs, but last week it officially voted to make college education free for everyone. According to German senator Dorothee Stapelfeldt, the decision was made because they felt paying anything for tuition was “unjust” and discouraged students with difficult economic circumstances from receiving a high level of education. American students, who typically graduate university with about $29,000 of student debt, could now be eyeing Germany as a place to continue their studies. Of course, they’ll have to learn German. Do you think the U.S. would benefit by treating higher education more like a basic necessity and less like a business? Do you think American colleges and universities are more expensive than they need to be?
