UM: Degree Costs

The BBC reports on the rising cost of a college degree, and includes a look at UM: “Students resplendent in their Michigan sweatshirts and baseball caps (Americans love their college branding) strolled the impressive campus, registering for classes, and signing up for the fraternity and sorority houses. At the season’s opening football game, the Michigan Wolverines ran out in front of an astonishing 113,000 fans at the ‘Big House’, the expensively revamped stadium that is the largest university sports arena in the country. But here, as elsewhere, tough questions are being asked about lavish spending on facilities and sporting programmes when tuition fees, and class sizes, continue to rise.” [Source]
