Since the last decade we observe growing  interest among young people in taking up University studies. As a Polish  quotation says knowledge is a key to the power and it seems that more and more people realise it is true. What immediately comes to mind is a question of availability. Should Universities accept all eager to enter them? Should university education be free for all? 
First argument in this discussion refers  to a very simple matter: space. Looking at the streets we realise how many young people are there in our country. But why mention only teenagers? Still, there is a tendency among so called grown-ups, adults, who think about completing their education or simply broadening their horizons . Someone (probably a dean) could exclaim: How on earth, will they enter already crowded class-rooms?"  
What we can also consider is the question of level of teaching. It refers  not only to teachers (academic, of course) but also to students, who, chosen randomly or not chosen at all (just accepted) not necessarily would want to try hard to gain knowledge.  
On the other hand pursuit of knowledge is a beautiful thing to see. A wish to know more, to know better should be glorified and a person who has this wish should be enabled to approach her goal as much as they can. What is important is to provide free education for such wisdom-hungry persons. 
I agree with statement that university education should be free for all, yet we should also develop methods enabling us to distinguish those, who truly want it from those, who only seek leisure.
