Sorry I already work 35 hours a week while full time to afford living expenses.

You aren't seeing the forest from the trees, man. What this means is that thousands of students like me will have to take out loans with astronomical interest rates to get a degree after being lured to stay with the promise of free to little tuition.

What it does mean is that as soon as I do get my degree, i'm going to bolt for greener pastures like everyone else due to the ineptitude of the politicians in this state.

Sure, lets cut the program altogether instead of raising the requirements to get it. If I knew TOPS would be shelved do you think I'd have stayed in state? Hell no.

Should have went somewhere else than LSU. I am sure a lot of us think this way. I wouldn't send my kids here, if I had any.
