I like LSU's timing, get fully funded, TOPS funded and then raise tuition 5%.

You can't say they don't know when to say when,
quote:


The LSU Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to increase fees on students attending the flagship Baton Rouge campus by $270 per semester beginning in the fall semester.

In what amounts to a 5% hike on tuition and fees, the move is expected to raise some $14 million annually. Dan Layzell, LSU vice president for finance and administration, told board members the new revenue will fund pay raises and mandated cost increases. The increase is not covered by TOPS, meaning students—or parents—will come out of pocket to cover the cost.


Tuition increased

Did you really think F. King was going to let a crisis go to waste? He's nothing but a pig at a trough.

Technically they raised the fees not tuition but I get what you're saying.

This is what happens when you artificially inflate demand with things like TOPS.

The amount of waste at an institution of their size is staggering.

Costs go up, tuition goes up. TOPS is great and all, but if you're that upset about $270 a semester then go to a cheaper school. Over 9 semesters thats still under $2,500. Any student that isn't disabled should easily be able to supplement $2,500 within a 4.5 year period with a part time job. LSU is a good school. Good schools have big expenses.

Option B: Get a small loan.

tuition + fees for in state students has almost doubled since my first semester (fall 2011) to now. That's insane.
