Blog 10: Tuition makes it hard to graduate on time

Summary:  Over the last couple of years, more and more students are struggling to graduate on time.  When cost goes up at universities, it makes it harder for students to pay for the college when they can only pay for the four years.  The cost doesn't just go up every year, in most universities it goes up every semester.  The only way now for students to go to school whiteout having any debt after is getting scholarships.  For every student in college that can't afford to go to school there are about 500 other in state students behind them trying to take their spot, the probable is they also might not be able to afford it.  Tuition itself is not bad, but when you talk about the future and how many other aspects come with tuition, thats when you see how it hurts students from all over the world.  For foreign exchange students and students coming to america for education, the have to pay more than the average in state students by as much as 20%.  Only 78% of foreign students graduate on time and only half of the other percent can pay the rest of their education The way that students from other parts of the world should prepare for education in the United States is to establish a financial play with advisors, but even advisors can cost money, so everything you do to save money.

Analysis:  It amazes me to see that there are so many people that go to school but because they ant graduate on time, means that they loose funds and either go in debt or drop from school.  For students around the world going to college in the United States is a very risky thing.  The United States is the most expensive country to go get an education.  With students struggling to pay for school and graduate on time there needs to be changes done with the tuition increase.  I hope one day that the tuition stops and more kids have the opportunity to pay for college and graduate on time.
