I’m an international student living in the US and many people in my circle as well as on my campus (from what I’ve seen on my uni’s subreddit) receive financial aid and I’ve always wondered, doesn’t this basically make college free? Unless they have to pay it back, not super well versed, I just know people receive help when they can’t afford college. If they don’t have to pay back, that means college is essentially free then and why can’t everyone else have the same opportunity. Ik that the US is super different from Europe, for example, but idk would be cool if everyone got free education here
