will college students ever get a break from tuition going up every year?

Answer 1

Not until our world becomes a utopia and education becomes totally free. There are two solutions:
1) Become a self-educated person. The ability to educate one-self is greater today than ever, especially with the availability of information on the internet.
2) Move to California. After a certain period of residency, certain colleges provide free tuition (from what I've heard)

Answer 2

This probably won't help you, but maybe someone else who reads this will benefit. Most states have tuition prepayment plans. You pay in advance for a child's college tuition, but it must be to a public college in that state. The program locks in today’s tuition rates. So, you may start this program today with your 12 year old and tuition at the state university is $100 a credit hour. In 6 years, tuition may jump to $200 a credit hour. However, you prepaid at the lower rate and your kid technically gets to go at half the cost.
The only problem is that is really limits your child's choice in colleges. Most kids prefer to choose their colleges and don't like being told where to go. But it saves you money!.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, no they won't. Every year college tuition's go up, and they will continue to go up. There is nothing more valuable then an education, and every school on the planet, knows this fact. The more education you have, the more money you will make, in the future. So paying for an education, is the best way on earth, to assure you make the maximum amount of money in the future. Hey, this is a fact of life, that it is really hard not to go along with, it's either pay now, or don't get paid latter.

Answer 4

Fortunately, the state of Georgia is offering some relief. Starting in the fall semester of 2006, college students attending state schools will have their tuition costs locked in. The catch: they must complete their college undergraduate courses in 4 years. Starting in the fifth year, their tuition will increase to the level that incoming freshmen are paying. Their are special provisions for transfer students and those whose curriculums normally take longer than 4 years.

Answer 5

Probably not. Colleges are getting more advanced, and because of that, the tuition will keep on soaring. And it's even worse with the higher colleges, like Harvard, and Princeton. Technology is becoming more advanced, so the prices must go higher. We all must suffer.

Answer 6

unfortunately,the cost of a college education goes up every year!!! teachers salaries, buiding maintenance etc. etc.back in the 60's a ny city college was tuition free, a ny state college had a small tuition and the private colleges in ny cost like $45-$55/credit hour. now its thru the roof. thnak g-d my son is 30!!!!!

Answer 7

I was wondering that when my tuitoin jumped almost $400+ per semester. The school needs to stop paying high dollar professors who are just there not to teach but for the pay check or for the research experience. Summer school is just as expensive as the regular semester and why? it's not like the professors are getting anymore $ to teach during the summer.

Answer 8

Probably not, although it may go up slower or faster from year to year. But I would count on a 10% increase in all costs across the board, just to be on the safe side, when figuring your budget.

Answer 9

Nope. The amount of money you are given in aid increases each year, and so does the amount available for the college to take away from you.

Answer 10

No, probably not. It went up every single year my four years of college, but the aid didn't always go up to match it.
