FREE Tuition for SUNY Schools proposed by Governor Andrew Cuomo (New York State)
#1
Cuomo seeks free SUNY tuition for those making under $125,000 - The Buffalo News

Interesting!

EDIT: SUNY means State University of New York, in other words, they are New York's "State Colleges/Universities".

I live in NY and I'm against this the same reason I was against Bernie Sanders proposal

I don't want my taxes to pay for somebody to go to college and study history, psychology, communications, criminal justice, gender studies and a bunch of other useless majors

yeah, useless

32 thousand for a bachelors just so you can work in Starbucks ?

I think its different for most everyone on this board

most of us already have jobs, careers even
and we just need a degree for the HR checkbox or to move up in our job

we have the experience, we have the job

that's totally different form some 19 years old who wants to major in history because its interesting

heck yeah, I wholeheartedly agree -- it IS interesting

but its not really going to help you get a job in 4 years

what are you going to be ?
bank teller ?
secretary ?
customer service rep ?

I'd even be against it if it were just for STEM and allied health majors

I think people try harder when they have to pay for it

if Chemistry is hard ...
so what its free
just drop the course
you don't lose any money
screw around and take an easier course next semester

argh, hate Cuomo
same fool who today vetoed the "gravity knife" reform

We've been talking about this on the sister forum.

Important to note- this is only for their public education system (community and state colleges) and is a last dollar award. IMO, not worth the hype. This is a whole lotta nothing meant to attract media attention.

Average tuition in NY for the colleges being discussed is roughly $6,800/year. Pell is deducted first (roughly $5,600) so the big to-do here is providing the student about somewhere around $1,200. I get that dorm adds cost if you are not at a community college... BUT.....can we please just make kids pay part of their own education? My 9 year old son made that the first year of his gumball business. Seriously. Having a $1200 balance assumes no academic scholarship, no athletic scholarship, no Rotary scholarship, no Chick-fil-a scholarship, no anything......

My opinion is that this does not ENCOURAGE smart spending, smart borrowing, or smart planning.

I've said it before, but if we want to pay for part of a student's education, let's pay for grad school - the students in that application pool have already demonstrated all the signs of readiness and grit that eat freshman for lunch.
