Think it's a bit silly to be pissed off for a reason like that.  I know a handful of people that pretty much are already not paying a dime.  

Yep. I recently read about American students who fled America for Germany because of their student loans. 

 

Was it just to avoid paying them? My wife's student loans eat over a quarter of our joint income! She lives in the UK with me now. But her parents are co signers so if she does paying, they'd go after her parents instead, which I don't think would go down well.

 

I think if they made tuition totally free, they'd also have to look at helping existing graduates with their repayments. Finding something in the middle lowering graduate repayments to sensible amounts (and the same for future students) would be a better place and easy to start making college more affordable.
