College is something I, and countless others will have trouble paying for and paying off after we're done. My older brother who really wanted to go to Northeastern, got in, but the student loans would be crazy hard to payoff and flying him out there back and forth wouldn't be worth it. He goes to Cal-Poly SLO now, which he loves, but it was a decision greatly affected by finances. And I'm afraid I'll have to make my decision even more about finances as my parent's will have two kids in college. I think it's unrealistic to just make college free for any amount of people, no matter how hard I want it, it probably shouldn't happen. Additional merit scholarships and scholarships based on need might be a more realistic step towards a lot more equal opportunities.
