In this Saturday, April 15, 2017, photo, cars pass LaGuardia Community College in New York, where new legislation would allow some students to attend tuition-free. Some higher education experts question whether New York’s first-in-the nation free college tuition plan should be a model for other states.

In this April 13, 2017 photo, people walk near the main entrance to the Borough of Manhattan Community College in New York, where new legislation would allow some students to attend tuition-free. New York's plan would cover in-state public college tuition for full-time students whose families earn $125,000 or less. Some experts are concerned that the way the plan is set up, it would actually do little to help the neediest students, whose tuition is already covered by other aid. They also question that the plain doesn't address the many other college costs beyond tuition. (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)
