With the current economic situation alot of things have changed. We all know big businesses have gone bankrupt or closed their stores. People are losing their jobs left and right. Eveyone is spending less. House prices are cheap and some places like detriot even sell for around 20 grand. Good for buyers bad for owners.

Now with all this bad shit happening you think it couldn't get worse.

Well murphy's law strikes again.

I still am finishing up classes in Sac state university and have heard talk of it all over. Basically the talk is that the tuition fees for Univeristies and colleges will double by next year.

Now you may be thinking what!? (and yes it isn't just happening in my state)

Yes even with this economic crisis of barely making ends meet you have another thing to deal with. Alot of people who were layed off are trying to go back to school to get a higher education so they have better qualifications for a job.

Now they are saying that tuition fees will double and they will limit the amount of admissions accepted. This means the people suffering the most from this economy will suffer even more. Even the average kid trying to get a higher education to get a good job might be turned away or not be able to afford it.

Now I pay only around 7,000 USD a year for my tuition but if that were to double or go up by even 50% it will make it alot harder to pay off. Yes there are scholarships and grants but not everyone can get one. And the fact that there is a higher chance you may not be accept at all adds to it.

When the economy is in such bad shape most people are trying to find a job and without the proper education they won't get much. So they are basically stuck.

Now I am unsure what the fees are for university but for most jr colleges I know they will go from 20 USD a unit to 40 USD a unit.


Just wondering what is everyone's thought on this topic. Will it affect you?
why? or why not?

Anyway how is Sacstate? good USC?

IronyTaken

yah it's mainly known for business majors but you can get a good major in science too.

Moshi2

if it's doubled, then it would be like 14,000 USD? wow I cant imagine the fee for those international students then

how about studying in the north aka. Canada

Espada1

Dang it really?!

Business isn't a good major in this kind of economy?

MrWafflez

Tuition isn't going to double.

lmao



Maybe for poor schools, but certainly not for many schools (if any).

The junior college i used to go to is odouble from 20 to 40 USD a unit.

And it is a pretty rich college in a rich neighborhood, but students who aren't rich go to it too.

Sac state I think will go from 7000 USD to 11000 USD for me based on estimates but that is still close to a 50% increase.

Other states have reported to be doubling rates soon for a majority of universities and colleges like in florida.

Also they are having more restrictions on admissions so alot more people won't get in.

Maybe you don't know how bad we are suffering economically, becuase it is bad.
