- Yes USC is one of the most popular schools, but for me personally I would not want to spend over 50,000 dollars a years for that school because I come from a family where money does not come easy. And I definitely feel that the tuitions pike would effect my decision of attending that school if I had the chance.
ReplyDelete- Yes I believe that the student should have the right to protest because it is their education on the line and they have the right to complain of the outrageous prices because the students do not want to continue their futures in debt.
-I feel that the cost and the program factor is the most important factor when deciding into what college I want to attend, because the money matters in my family and we want to make the most of what we have.
I feel that paying over $50,000 for a globally renowned university is worth it, because the more popular and famous a school is, the lower the acceptance rate gets. For me personally, cost and program quality play a larger role in deciding where I would study. If the school's reputation was great, but the program itself wasn't up to expectations, I'd feel as if I was cheated in a way. Other factors would include location and campus size, but those are minor compared to cost and program quality.
ReplyDeleteIn my personal opinion USC is not worth paying over $50,000 annually. USC is a very well know school but the tuition hike would most likely have changed my mind. Although it might be different for someone who wanted to attend USC and would think it's totally worth paying that much for tuition. I think that the cost, location, and programs that a college has will definitely factor into my decision of where to attend.
ReplyDeleteBecause USC maintains a prestigious reputation and the quality of education is excellent, it is worth it. Especially to those that can afford it. The tuition hike would have changed my mind, especially if I had other options of attendance that interest me. Cost, college reputation, and programs all somewhat equally play a part in my decision of where to attend. Other major factors include the location, and, obviously, if they have the degree that I would like to pursue.

ReplyDeleteI personally don't think that paying the $50,000 tuition is worth it if you can find a similar program with the same value but at a cheaper price. Sure, USC is one of the top schools out there, but if it comes down to choosing a not so popular school versus facing inevitable debt, I'd choose the former. However, if you know that USC is your dream school and are willing to bear through with the expensive tuition, I'd say go for it.
