2008 Enrollment

[ulforlife]

I'm for the increase. I paid my way through UL and I'm glad I finished before this happened, however it's a good thing. My friends all complain with "why? why do you want to raise the price? thats stupid, who cares if we are the cheapest school in the state. thats a good thing." but they are the same people who say "typical UL, always half-assing everything"

well there you go! kinda need money to build a good program

_ And its going to come out of the pockets of people like me. Who can't get scholarships or grants, and have to pay their way through school by themselves. Grrrrrrrrr. _

Anyone can get a Stafford LOAN that you pay back after graduation if that helps.

Higher tuition at the eight schools in the UL system this fall is all but a done deal. At Thursday's Board of Regents meeting, the tuition hike was approved, pending final passage into law of the legislative measure that allows for the increase. And as students weigh the effects of the higher price to attend college, UL looks forward to a sizable increase in funds.

 Students walked from commuter lots, biked down sidewalks and waited for UL buses Thursday, the first day the school has been open since Gustav struck.

It may have been only three days since the storm's 60 to 70 mph winds whipped through town, but students and administrators said it was time to get back to business.

Brandon Waltman, a natural resources and environmental quality sophomore, said he was surprised when school officials called for a return this week.

He, his fiancé and his roommate from Slidell evacuated to Waltman's hometown of Shreveport.

But once the trio returned, Waltman said, he supported administrators' decision. Waiting longer would only have made going back to class more difficult.
