The rent fees is too damn high.

I liked most of it, except the "increase fees for the freshmen, leave it for me". Kind of selfish and not really addressing the issues, this just means they can increase the fees every year and it willy only ever annoy the new guys, who are probably to green to cause a fuss till later.

I know for me going in to uni, I had no idea it used to be absolutely free for the parent generation above me, I paid (took a loan) in the region of 23k AUD, which I'm supposed to still feel appreciative for since people in the US have it tougher. The point is though, this just seemed like the hurdle to pass, nobody tells you to fight against it and when they do, you're already enrolled.

Hella = *norcal

Strange message he seems to be sending: "I left the protest when I heard cops were coming because they tend to use force on the protesters and I didn't want to get involved. Oh, but it's a good thing that some protesters stayed to get pepper sprayed because it brought a lot of media attention to the school's problems. Now, I'd like to bandwagon on the successful protest and advocate for my fees to be decreased. I have an idea! Push all fee increases to the incoming freshman so you can freeze mine!"

Paraphrased of course. That's how it sounded to me. Tl;dr version:mememememememe.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TUITION DON'T GO THERE! Find another school that fits your fiscal requirements, moron.

I feel as though I would take him more serious if he did not use the word "Hella "

MOAR government involvement is sure to drive costs down!

I could see the point of having a maximum cap on fee raising each year. So you can at least figure out your budgeting and plan for 4 years of that maximum increase. Having huge unforeseen hikes forced upon you without enough warning to apply elsewhere and get the hell out of dodge.....that's no good for a group of people who obviously don't have financial means at their disposal.

I'd guess it'd take about 3 months to apply and get accept somewhere, probably need more like 6 months to get your options on the table, scholarships and etc lined up and figured out..plus any government financial aid (FAFSA, Pell, etc).

THIS! So succinct!

Hey, while I got ya here... It doesn't look like my medical insurance will pay even a third what they payed the first time, should I relapse. I'm not rich and, admittedly, I'm kind of a moron, so what should I do if that happens? Find another insurance company, or find another disease? Two seemingly impossible solutions... should I desire to live, but I just bet you can help me.

Health insurance is clearly not the same as college. With higher education you volunteer to pay X amount of dollars to get an education per year that is optional. Considering there are literally thousands of options in this country to choose from, CHOOSE ONE THAT WORKS FOR YOUR BUDGET! Consider buying a car, certainly we all don't go out and buy lamborghini's...instead we buy Toyota Corolla's and Ford Focus's...something that is more fiscally realistic. I wouldn't go buy a lamborghini and have the gall to sit here and complain about the price when there are better options.

Health insurance is different, and I don't care to talk about that, that's not the point of this thread.

Except at some point, writing your degree on a paper napkin probably carries more weight that the low budget degrees. Or, I have 2 grand, my car options would be something that needs a lot of work and additional money invested or an extreme high mileage vehicle that has a good maintenance record but let's face it after some point on mileage maintenance or not something is going to happen...severity dependant. Or I borrow or otherwise go beyond my means in hopes that it will give me a reliable car that will get me to where I want to go but have no warranty, and then the transmission goes out and the dealership wants nearly what the car is worth to fix it. So I face having no car or going even further beyond my means to hopefully continue to keep my reliable car on track and get my invested money back out of it. I think that more accurately represents the school situation for that guy. You can't just go to another school and hope they transfer every credit 1:1....depending on where you are in your degree you might get boned out of many credits you otherwise would have kept had you not switched schools/programs.

And I'd argue the "optional" portion of a higher education when jobs that SHOULDNT require them, do. It's either tradeschool or college unless you like digging ditches, collecting trash or some other unskilled workforce area. And that's not a bash on those jobs, in fact I think most of those unskilled jobs should pay more than a teachers salary...because a lifetime of those utterly destroys your body. Be lucky if you don't need back surgery by 50 if you do hard manual labor from 18 on up.

Lolzzz I read the title as "My Heels are Hella High"
