“I would have to take out a student loan or I guess take another job if I had to because I really want to get through school. I don’t know what (the University) would use the extra money for. I would have to know what the money was going towards then I would decide if it was worth paying the extra money.

“It would definitely make things more difficult. With the Lottery, it makes paying for it super nice. I also have the Bridge scholarship so everything is getting paid for now. But if there was a tuition increase, I would have to take a job and pay off the bills. If it is necessary, I’d have to know the reasons for the increase. But right now, I don’t see it (being) necessary.”

“My parents pay my tuition, but I also have a scholarship. So I don’t know how that would work, if the scholarship amounts would increase also. If that’s the case, where the scholarships and tuition increase at a similar rate, I guess that would be okay.

“That wouldn’t be a good thing. My mom pays for my tuition, and she is a single mom. She pays for mine and my sister’s. So I think it would be hard. I don’t really know if (the increase) is necessary because I don’t know all the facts.”
