Making college more or entirely free would most likely boost the wealth of college attendees without securing any important gains. The relatively few poor kids who do attend college heavily cluster in two year community colleges and cheaper, less selective four year colleges, while richer kids are likely to attend more expensive four year university. Given these class or wealth based differences in attendance levels, institutional selection, and current student benefit levels, making college free for everyone would almost certainly mean giving far more money to students from richer families than from poorer ones. Student benefit campaigners tend not to focus on these sorts of questions, instead preferring to gesture towards a supposed student debt issue to prove that those who attended college really are a hurting class needing higher benefits, like free college.

That’s just a little bad side of making college free, the university also suffers from this a great deal. This is because they aren’t receiving as large of an income as before, therefore they cannot to afford to employ as many people and pay the employees as much. By having college expenses these universities can afford all their employees, which
