Education

Free College for All

Challenges Entered: 
Creating a free online college for everyone

I just have an idea that could open the possibility for college education for many people. It would be to simply make a completely free online college. I'd be interested in your opinion on the idea, and if you like it, ways to make it happen.

I just graduated from Penn State last spring and began thinking about what make up costs for colleges. They mainly involve buildings, housing, professors, and administration costs. I also learned at Penn State that, in my opinion at least, class size doesn't matter. I learned more in 700+ student classes than I did in 12 person classes. The best driver for the overall education is the quality of the professor and lecture.

So here is my vision of the college:
