Due to the rise of tuition, the number of UC students giving up to go to school is rising as well. Compare to last year’s tuition, it has increased about 15% more, which is very hard for students to afford. So what they decide is taking a long break. They work to make money for tuition. It’s understandable that UC schools keep raising their tuitions because of the economic crisis, but aren’t colleges for students. Nobody would decide to go to college if the tuition keeps rising. People used to believe and still do believe that graduating from a good college is likely equal to getting a better job and making more money. However, it is not really true. Today people graduating from good schools, such as Ivy League schools, can’t get jobs. Higher education is not equal to higher work position.
If students can’t go to college because the tuition is too high, there is no reason for colleges to exist. Colleges are for students. No matter what the reason is students must be considered as the most valuable and the most important element to compose colleges. So colleges better find the ways to reduce the tuition bring their students back.
