It will be interesting to see how tuition and fee increases work out for colleges and universities.

Crap i paid less than that probably for my bachelors and masters at a good private school.

So over-inflated.

Getting paid all that money and what are their results? A lot of brain washed people incapable of the critical thinking universities claim they teach.

In an announcement by the school, the university indicated that it will increase its tuition fees by 3.9%, up to $54,270 for students admitted in fall 2018 and afterward.


Will the students actually be allowed in the same room as the professor or will this be all on-line education? Seems to me that if it’s the latter, the tuition should be less.

Interesting move. I wouldn’t call Syracuse University a well known or leading university. I expect they’ll start catastrophically losing students in a few years.

Instead of eliminating failing programs and worthless degree programs they raise tuition. Obviously higher education needs no help from government.

My Bachelor of Science degree from Muhlenberg College cost me near $30 thousand.

Was it worth it? For me, yes!

Would I pay $200 thousand for the same four year degree now? No way in hell!

will increase both the amount it charges students in tuition and the amount of financial aid...

More wealth transfer here - I know how this works well.

One segment of students pay more, to allow the college to have another segment that pays less.

This happens with or without covid.

The University of California system sent out an email that there will be no discount even if classes are conducted online. I’m not sure if all the UC schools are doing this but ours is.

How much did they refund students who did not get what they paid for. In class instruction.

And this is why so many Nyers and New Jerseyans attend college down South.
