Free education? It sounds quite seductive, isn't it? As we all know, education is so generally provided in America and other countries, that, without any doubt, there is no difficulty in understanding how much equality is given by that opportunity…. But it is not merely open; it is forced upon all. Even under a socialistic program it is difficult to imagine any arrangement for providing the education which all are supposed to need more nearly equal than the existing system of public schools. All things are changed except the University and school…. Behind fifty desks exactly alike fifty boys and girls are seated to recite a lesson prescribed to all…. But the algebra is not an opportunity for the boy who has no turn for mathematics…. Indeed, the more nearly equal the opportunity outwardly the more unequal it is really. When the same instruction for the same number of hours a day by the same teachers is provided for fifty boys and girls, the majority have almost no opportunity at all. The bright scholars are held back … the dull scholars are unable to keep up … average scholars are discouraged because the brighter pupils accomplish their tasks so easily.
As a high school student beginning to look at my college options, I have come to the conclusion that there is something very wrong with our educational system.
Universities will offer me the chance to think and develop my mind in ways radically different from high school. Furthermore, it has become increasingly necessary to have a college education in order to enter a career where you are capable of financially supporting an entire family or even yourself. High quality, stable, well-paying jobs are rare without a college degree. One of our federal governments’ main functions is to collect tax revenues to fund programs that are beneficial to society as a whole. So it seems logical to warrant as much government funding as possible to higher education. The benefits to our country would be tremendous. Citizens would become less reliant on the government after college and would be much more productive members of society. Everyone should be able to attend the best public college they qualify for without tuition.

Student got free education due to loan error
Many people know that the best way to lower your student and school loan debt is to consolidate student loans.
In general there are two basic kinds of school loans - private and federal. In contrast to Private school loans federal loans are in a way less popular. It's all because of the nature of the federal loans. Mind you can never consolidate both private and federal loans into a single private loan. That is because only federal loans carry government's support, and what's more they can be refinanced then at a reduced interest rate than can privately financed school loans. So in case you come to consolidate school loans, do the federal loans together then look at consolidating your private student loans.
People are keen on money nowadays, they try to make money even out of air. Jeremy Wilson, a former student of Huston University, finished the high school in 2001 and had a plan of entering the university. But as many American students he was short of money. He decided to find a way out, and as the Private student loan consolidation rate was very law that was a kind of goal for him at that time. The whole procedure is not difficult at all. There are no fees, no credit checks, application or origination charges associated with your application. In other words if you have no money at the moment you can loan the money for your education. Jeremy loaned money in 2001 in August and entered University. That was a hard period of time for him and he hesitated what to do then: to continue his education or to give it up, as he was unable to pay for the loan. But fortunately he was a quick minded person and occurred to take one more student loan consolidation rate and cover the first one this way. Being a third year student of the University he was able to get fixed up in a job and earn good money. In spite of the fact that Jeremy was not able to pay for the loans the first two years of his studying, he managed to postpone the time of returning the money.
