tuition

Plaintiffs argued that, without campus work, students lacking documentation not only miss out on career-advancing research opportunities but also often struggle to afford tuition, housing and even food.

The layoffs have come as USC has steadily raised tuition and fees to become one of the most expensive colleges in the U.S.

That means accounting for tuition and fees, books and supplies, housing, meals, transportation and personal expenses — and then lining up those costs against the aid being offered.

Before that, Ph.D.s were far less accessible to students who lacked an independent source of tuition and living expenses.

Further, this compact helps American citizens—requiring schools to re-examine their finances to lower tuition and capping the number of foreign students.
