I believe that most college student should know about the rising education cost for the new semester of every college student. Especially for the students who constantly seeking government program for financial aid. Now, it won't be that easy. The double cost might have huge impact on many students. What would you do if you are still student, and aim to finish the degree? Would you cut back the hours as part - time student, and work full - time to make more money to finance your future tuition? Or your parents is the greatest rescue?

A short answer to that, eat more noodles, lol. I guess we can always save money by carpooling. That is easier to do in some larger schools. I am at a very small school so carpooling is not really a option. Parents are another source of income, but it is awkward for me to ask sometimes. others?

I guess, if you are not wealthy, you won't be able to ask your parents for anything like pursuing further and better education. I understand how it feels.

Rising education cost is another problem of both parents and students.Almost all things, services and products goes with the increase in price.Dealing with this problem is quite hard since even if there is no increase in education cost, i my self is already experiencing financial problems.
I am currently taking my second course in college and i used to live an a boarding house. Every end of the month I have such a problem with my allowance since it can no longer support my finances.
Now, if there will be an increase in educational cost, what happen is that I will going to demand more allowance from my parents.
I hope that the Department of education will look unto this matter and look the situation of the students whom they said as the next leaders of societies.

That is especially harder for students who is non - residential status. They used to pay double of those residential students tuition. So, if you are resident of your state college, you would consider yourself lucky. And you still can ask your parents for financial support. For others, they have to figure it out themselves.
