I don't disagree with any of these points, just had a tangentially-related thought: wouldn't making college "free" be a forcing function to tighten admission criteria, further stratifying social classes? Schools can be a bit loose today since basically anyone with a pulse can get student loans.

Just thinking out loud; I suspect looking at other countries who do this would be informative...

Thats why apprenticeships and trade schools need better marketing. The glorification of bachelor degrees is toxic.

And looking at other countries it doesn't tighten social classes more than having a 50k barrier... per year.
