I found these articles interesting as it discussed the life of school beyond high school. It is relevant to us as college students because it feels as if it was just yesterday when i was trying to make my decision to which college i wanted to attend. One of my main reasons for choosing baruch was its high quality of education and low cost of schooling. I thought to myself why go away to an expensive private college when i can get a high quality education real close to home which is affordable and flexible with attaining a job close by. After reading these articles about the cuts in public higher education funding it was a big disappointment. I remember hearing when baruch was a free college. Now i look at my semester bill and almost every semester the bill is rising. I understand times change but it is becoming more and more difficult for students to afford college which makes it even harder for them to complete. It was interesting to learn that many of these funding problems come from the state.
When it comes to budget cuts in education, are there any wiser alternatives anyone can think of to help the education system overall ?
It seems as if this is just the start to the rise in cost of public education, do you feel as if this is a time to panic or is this just temporary ?
