We asked you: With the $1,000 tuition increase coming next semester, how do you plan on affording the new hike?

"I'm getting a summer job, and applying for more scholarships and financial aid. Hopefully that will cover most of it. I'm starting to apply already."

÷ Quiana Jones, biochemistry freshman

"Honestly I'm not paying it, my parents are. I don't know how they're going to afford it."

÷ Jordan Miller, undeclared freshman

"Most likely I'm going to have to pick up more work just to pay for the increase because my family really can't afford it."

÷ Felix Jelen, geosciences freshman
