Professor price, i was with my boyfriend friday night when we got into a car accident. Assignment was due Friday, first email came saturday: A student didn't turn in an assignment but emailed me to explain why. I was teaching at BYU over the summer a few years back.

I understand incentives, externalites, and information asymmetry, but man I wish students would not create fake stories or lie to get an exception when they don't meet the expectations of the class. Not only is college affordable, but it offers a great return on investment. The typical loan repayment amount is $133 per monthĪs you hear the arguments that the cost of college is too high, I encourage you to think about regional public universities, like SUU. The max Pell Grant award this year is $7,395īut for some, they do take out a loan to help make college more affordable.Īt SUU, 68% of first-time freshmen will take out a loan to help pay for college.īut for SUU students, the loan amounts are quite small. There are also many scholarships for housing!įor students from disadvantaged backgrounds, SUU has a need-based scholarshipįor students who qualify for the Pell Grant, SUU is free!! Let me repeat that, SUU is free for many students. In the Leavitt School of Business, most upperclass business students with a high GPA are given full tuition scholarships What the sticker price does not include are scholarships given by SUU.Īround 70% of first-time students get some form of scholarship from SUU.Īny first-time student with a 3.4 GPA or higher earns a scholarship The sticker price of for one year of tuition and fees for in-state students is $6,769.50Ĭompare that to other regional universities Here are a few of my thoughts on this topic with some data. We often hear the argument that 'college is not affordable' or you may hear arguments that questions the value that a college education provides. I want to follow up on this thread from someone who cares deeply about higher ed in Utah and does great research in higher ed at a national level (Michael Kofoed)
