Yes, there is a "direct" cost: taxes.
"Free education" isn't free. In places where this phenomenon is alleged to exist...it doesn't. Someone paid because colleges are not charities.
Perhaps you spread the cost over an entire society where everyone pays for someone else's "free" education even if they have no kids getting the "free" college education.
You're OK with that ? You got scammed. Hilarious.
