UM: Tuition

A Wall Street Journal looks at how college students are struggling as states and the federal government cut back scholarships and other funding for college. The article quotes Dylan Cinti of Ann Arbor, who’s attending UM because his first choice, the University of Chicago, didn’t provide financial aid. Says Cinti: “When I got into Chicago, I was really excited to go there. It had been my first-choice school since ninth grade. But I would feel kind of guilty being at Chicago knowing that my family is paying more than they could afford.” [Source]
