In response to "The Cost of College Increases"

On another classmates blog, Ms Derrick discusses the tuition increase at ACC. I think she does a good job of giving the details of what the increases will be and how it might affect some of the students. She clearly states her opinion on the subject and she doesn’t feel it’s right to increase the tuition and it might hurt some students and require them to drop out.

I must respectfully disagree with some of this. If a student has 12 hours (which majority of ACC students just take a couple of classes and work), then the increase is 36 dollars per semester. That is not that big of a difference. It is the first increase in 5 years (as stated by Ms. Derrick) and that’s probably about right for the rate of inflation. I don’t think a minor increase twice a decade is too much. You can go and donate blood (or something else of that nature) to make up for that minor difference.

Overall, I think she done a good job of supplying the information and stating her viewpoint. Nice post
