COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Board of Regents for Maryland's university system has approved a 3 percent tuition increase for most in-state students.
The board approved the tuition hike on Wednesday. This is the third year in a row that tuition has gone up.
For students at the University of Maryland, College Park, tuition and fees will rise from $8,655 this year to $8,908 in 2013. Out-of-state tuition will rise by as much as 5 percent at College Park and at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Renounce your citizenship and become an illegal alien. That will save you some tax dollars and get you in state tuition rates.
ReplyDeleteT democrat rats want to free pass to illegals.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do not understand is since all this talk about this free pass to illegals to attend colleges the legal students are not complaining.Any other matter they would be in the streets protesting.
ReplyDeleteAs if college tuition isn't high enough now. I have two kids that have struggled with this. One just graduated. She will be paying off student loans for the next 10 years. One is just starting and I can only imagine what his debt will be. It's getting to be impossible for kids to get a college education unless their parents are wealthy
ReplyDeleteAs far as illegal students they are not getting a free pass. They are being allowed to pay in state tuition in the state they reside in. Most of these kids grew up here and have attended public schools here all along.
ReplyDelete940-So why should illegals get in-state rates? If I go to another state, as a citizen, I don't get a discount. They shouldn't either.
ReplyDelete9:54 as I said most of these students grew up here. They had no choice. Their parents brought them here as small children. Why should they be penalized for this. The ones that get into college are obviously good students. Give them a chance.
ReplyDelete8:57 - I wonder if you took the opportunity to tell this to your state legislators. Tuition has to go up just to maintain as investment in education continues to shrink.
