Financial aid and student loans are replaced with grants for students who come from families with incomes less than $100,000. However, tuition is increased by 3.9% to $36,928 a year. Add room and board and it is estimated to cost $47,740 for one year. That means frightening high tuition for anyone that doesn't fit the new financial aid plan.<BR/><BR/>Coming from a family that doesn't receive any financial aid, it would be inconceivable to ask my parents to spend nearly half the families income on my tuition. I just hope that they don't forget about the middle class, and let financial aid be given to anyone that is struggling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
