<p>Tuition might be going up again.</p>
<p>this is funny... they are already the most expensive public school in the U.S...... they will loose applicants like this.</p>
<p>Actually, it's not funny at all. It's even worse for the other universities in Michigan. Yes, U-M might lose some applicants. However, it's not clear to me that demand is driven much by cost--at least not at the application stage.</p>
<p>Good point. Enrollment may be affected depending on each student's financial aid, but not applications.</p>
<p>I agree with redhare. Only thing this will change is yield.</p>
<p>...Just a random question...Why is the michigan app fee so low?.......They could increase it.</p>
<p>It's not so low for people the University would like to attract more of--like students who just miss qualifying for the waiver, or who don't understand the waiver option.</p>
<p>Michigan is not more expensive than Cal, UCLA, UVa and most good state schools cost over $35,000/year all-in these days anyway.</p>
<p>While its true the schools you just mentioned are ~$40,000 with everything included, Michigan still is most expensive if you only consider the out-of-state tuition ($29k vs UVA's $27k vs UCBerk/UCLA's $25k). I'd hate to see how much its going to cost the next generation to pay for school.</p>
<p>Matthew, cost is cost. It is convenient to just look at Tuition, but most university students must pay rent and eat food. When all is said and done, Cal and UCLA easily cost as much as, if not more, than Michigan. And all three of those schools are cheaper than private universities. And why should they be? Michigan offers a better, more personalized education than 99% of private universities.</p>
<p>Honestly, it won't really hurt anything. For every Midwestern kid that can't afford to come, there is an East Coaster eagerly willing to pay the price. I don't agree with this, but it is the truth.</p>
