Well isn't that just fucking great. TUITION HIKES
Sampling of state college tuition increases (for in-state full-time students), between 2002-3 and 2003-4 academic years:
Univ. of Michigan: up 6.5%
Ohio State: up 14.3%
Univ. of Alabama: up 16.25%
Univ. of Virginia: up 19%
Iowa State: up 22.3%
Univ. of Oklahoma: up 27.7%
Univ. of Arizona: up 39%
Univ. of California: up 39.4%
While I'm not in school, I know some who are, and some who want to be. That's just great. Whats that Bush? 80 billion for what? Inflation and recession, lost jobs, wages says what?
I'm sure America is just oh so happy.
Edit: I just saw this part of the article:
The tuition hike means most students must take out more loans and add to their debt burden -- which for state college and university graduates nationwide already averages between $16,000 and $20,000.
$16-$20k.
QUIT YOUR BITCHING! GET A JOB, GET A SECOND JOB!
I owe $40,000. Probably $50,000 by the time I pay it off. $20,000, HAH. Suck it up bitches!
