Fall 2007 Tuition went UP!

How do you guys feel about paying more money for a piece of paper?
Well, next year fall the trustee voted that most Cal State and UC systems will be paying more for education. $435 fee increase for undergraduate students and $483 for graduate students. $60 surcharge all undergraduate and graduate students wil pay. Also student will be charge $711 in miscellaneous.

I feel that if they raise the prices and add more fees. I believe it's going to discourage the generation Y to attend college. Some today is already having a hard time scruffing money to survive; working full-time and being a full-time student. Along with that our economy isn't helping either. Gas price is outragous, housing is more expensive.

In the article, it stated that "It's not just about the university. It's not just abpur California. It's about our country." "If UC doesn't continue to provide a worldclass education they will sprout up in foreign nations instead US."

- Above, it sounds like they are more afraid of losing student from other countries and our reputation in our schooling systems.

Tell me how you feel about this? Does it make you nervous about the future?

- I'm nervous about this whole increase rate, because I believe the fees and cost of going to school will raise more and more. By the time I have kids it's probably twice or even more the price I paid for an education.
