Student on the Street: Thoughts on recommended per-credit tuition increase
April 9, 2019
DOANA MAREI
Merchandising Management
“Not great, I take out loans to pay for my college, so that just adds on top of it, and I don’t really see the point. I guess they’re not really telling us where that money is going so that’s kind of annoying.”
KYLLEAN MYATT
Nuclear engineering
“Honestly, kind of sucks. Can’t sugar coat that. Because I pay my own college tuition, and I don’t know how much further FAFSA is going to go. It’s a little tough.”
ADAM KERR
Mechanical Engineering
“I think they should be accounting for the cost, but, it doesn’t feel like that big of a change.”
ASHTYN PARKS
Marketing
“I do not appreciate that I have to pay eight dollars more (per credit).”
JACK CHAPMAN
Accounting
“Eight dollars (per credit) might not seem like a lot but when you’re taking that many credits it definitely adds up.”
RILEY WHITE
Biology
“I’m actually kind of shocked because here we pay for a lot of things and don’t necessarily get the most out of our money and so I feel like our tuition should be going down, not up.”
MYLES WILLIS
Mechanical Engineering
“I mean, that’s probably about what inflation is, maybe a little bit more, so, really not too bad.”
KATLYN NAGAOKA
Design and Innovation
“Honestly college is expensive as it is, it doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, but I don’t appreciate it.”
DRAKE GROSS
Marine Biology
“It’s such an insignificant amount of money I don’t think anyone’s really going to care that much.”
JACOB STEWART
Chemical Engineering
“Yeah, I don’t feel very good about it. Especially, it’ll add up quite a lot. They’re doing away with pro school for undergraduate engineers but that’s a similar rate just for that too.”
MARILYN AUSTIN
Management
“Not good, I mean I’m out of state so I already pay a ton.”
