Dear Editor,

Hey. Thank you for putting out an opinion piece regarding free college tuition. I think that tuition should be free and that education should be free. Hopefully Obama’s plan, America’s College Promise proposal, even though it fell through during his administration will be revived during whoever wins the next presidency. Education is an important institution necessary for a great society. The more educated the people of a society are, the stronger the society. Knowledge is power and education can improve health, increase life expectancy, decrease poverty, opens more doors to success, and promote gender equality. Going to college can also help one make connections with others that can foster personal and professional life. Since recently been granted the Board of Governors fee, I can attest that financial aid and having tuition costs covered can definitely take pressure and professional life.
