Would college tuition costs drop drastically if universities weren't subsidized?

University is not a free market. It has not even a kinked demand curve. The demand might have a negative slope.

It is a case of positive externalities, but the government is not easy to give the subsidy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
