assistant
The main arguments against tuition-free college education include its potential to increase overall government spending; its potential to heavily subsidize institutions, students, and programs that offer degrees deemed as undeserving; its potential to limit student choice and reduce competition among colleges and universities; its potential to limit access to higher education to those who can afford to attend; its potential to shift financial burden onto taxpayers; and its potential to devalue higher education by making college tuition free and possibly creating an over-saturated job market.
