College tuition is still getting more expensive

According to the Annual Report of the University Council, the average of tuition and tuition fees for public and private universities this year is 9% to 6%. At the same time, the inflation rate is still around 2%

At the state's public 4-year university, the annual average price of private universities rose by $ 300, rising by $ 800.

Robert Kelqin, Associate Professor of Higher Education at Seton Hall University, says:

He says that the majority of college expenses are related to employees and their health care and benefits will continue to be more expensive.

Körchen also pointed out that reducing state funds is a factor affecting public universities. In Vermont and New Hampshire, the state tuition is the highest in the country, and state and local funds are less than half of the national average, the University Council said.

However, not all states are reducing funds for higher education. New York, Oregon, Tennessee, Rhode Island recently expanded their aid to provide free tuition fees to some residents.

Kelchen said tuition "discount" could be another factor to raise tuition and tuition fees. The university provides more economical assistance to some students to achieve their school goals.

This will increase the cost of paying the full amount of the family, but most students receive some financial assistance.

With this in mind, the University Council measures the net price of the university and deducts the average subsidy and tax incentives received by the family.

Regular students receive more subsidies than last year, but it is not enough to catch up with the price rise. The University Committee stated that the net price will continue to rise faster than inflation

However, even the net price does not actually reflect the burden of the family. It saves student books, transportation, health insurance and other expenses during college. The net price is also calculated by including a tax deduction that is often unreachable to families before the tuition expires.

* Ordinary students receive funds from grants and tax cuts sufficient to cover all tuition fees and tuition fees announced. This is $ 3,570 this year. The remaining expenses are room and meal

Even if you have tuition, going to college is expensive. According to Associate Professor Robert Kelchen of Seton Hall University, more than a third of students at Pell Grants can earn up to $ 5,775 for books and living expenses, but still between $ 5,000 and $ 10,000. If aid is not enough, low-income students like Mitchell will work full-time. Some people can not balance work and school. Many people have dropped out of school. According to tnAchieves, only 23% of the students who graduated from high school in 2011 and entered university through the localized version promised by the state of Tennessee have not graduated. It is the last scholarship. The source of inspiration for Tennessee. (Nationwide, only 29% of second graders get degrees within 3 years.)

Since 2004, university tuition fee has increased by nearly 60% (tuition fee in 2013 and tuition by school district and state). Universities are becoming increasingly expensive and finding jobs is becoming increasingly difficult. Some people will think that university has no value for money. As the economy and employment market change, one level may not be as useful as the other. I will major in computer engineering and programming at Texas A & M, UT Austin or UT Arlington. - Class dispute The rising cost of university is getting more and more expensive, and students are working hard to earn a living. Brigit M. graduated from a public university in southern New Jersey with 4.0 GPA. She is a full time student and works as a waitress outside the school and works 8 to 12 hours a week on campus. Bridget received a scholarship but did not pay other fees such as books, transportation expenses, medical expenses etc.
