I was handed a print out of last month s utility bills that the college had to pay. Needless to say, I was shocked. That is as much as I plan on making over a period of two years after graduation. However, the cost has not always been that much. However, another big reason is the increased student enrollment.
More students mean higher utilities.
Thanks to our ancestors who fought for freedom, there are some options here. Chances are, tuition will continue to increase. Therefore, we could all pack up our bags and go to a state funded public university where we can all become another statistic in a land of many faces and few opportunities. Or, we can stick it out here at SC, take advantage of the many organizations and activities, enhance our leadership skills, graduate, and get jobs that will enable us to pay back our student loans and still have plenty of money to take that trip to Jamaica. All of which might not have been possible due to the competition that can be found at public colleges.
