Tuition Costs

During my 4 year stint in college my tuition went up about 4 grand. Hiram College, though, is trying something new: locking students in at thier starting tuition rate. A program like that would have saved me nearly $7000.

"We saw an increasing gap from year to year. The cost of college and the financial resources for students were diverging," [President Tom] Chema said. "We knew we could stop the growth of the top line."

Surveys showed students were dropping out after their first year as the cold, hard reality of college costs dawned on them. The problem became especially acute if the student's grants diminished and they had to pay more out of pocket as school costs rose at the same time.

This idea gets an A+.
