Should college tuition be free at all public colleges and universities?

This is a tricky question that has so many dimensions. And the answer to this question is very ambiguous and confusing. The more I think about the pros and cons of it the more I feel split between the opposite types of impacts that this will create. To me apparently, it sounds like a good idea that all the public, academic institutions should be free of cost as more students will be able to attend the colleges and the college drop rate will become less so does the student debts. So many questions raise if we think about the consequences of making all the public institutions free of cost as there are some severe drawbacks.

The question that comes to my mind is that how these tuition-free institutions will get the money from to pay the expenses? If this means that public taxes will pay the cost of education then, I feel like it will be unfair to the general public who is already finding tax paying challenging. Many people become homeless as they can’t pay the high taxes. So will freeing the tuition for institutions be a good thing for the country or not. From one angle it seems like a good idea, but from another perspective, it seems damaging.

Another dimension that this issue has that, will be freeing students from paying tuition fee will reduce the worth of education in their opinion, as they will no longer work hard to understand its importance; or will it make more students attend college, which will eventually result in more college graduates in the country.

With high tuitions fee, students generally choose the majors that will pay them better in terms of money. With free college tuition, they will be able to select the majors on the basis of other important reasons, not the money. But then again is it worth increasing the taxes of the public? Will it turn out to be another way of increasing our problems or it will help the country with an increased economy in the long term?
