The purpose  of this short text is to analyse the problem of whether should university education be available to everyone, regardless of his financial possibilities. 
To begin with, most psychologists agree that there are two important factors which, in the final outcome, will always determine the intellectual potential of a human being. These are: ones genotype and the social environment in which he is brought up. The arguments for and against neutralizing the effect of the second factor will be presented below. 
 Firstly, well-situated families usually provide their children with expensive, unavailable to others additional private education. This effectively increases the chances of their sons and daughters of getting through selection procedures at the best universities.
Secondly, those lucky parents are usually well educated themselves, which, in day-to-day life, positively affects the intelligence of their children. There is a similar but negative effect in poor families. This is a vicious circle. 
Whats more, studies in cities other than the one of origin, are also very expensive. this further  increases the unbridgeable  gap between the rich and the poor, as the additional cost of education, together with high costs of living, is, even for talented (but poor) young people, almost impossible to overcome. 
On the other hand, there is a problem, that any unnatural (state-supported)  equality of chances could reduce peoples motivation towards success, as they will not be able to use their own achievements  to ease the lives of their children.
In conclusion, though, I find the idea of free university education very accurate and I feel the society should support it, because, in general, it would benefit from it.
