<p>From the Providence College website:</p>
<p>With the approval of the Board of Trustees at its February meeting, tuition for the 2009-10 academic year will increase 4.9% to $32,320, the lowest increase in nearly a decade. Fees for room and board will increase from 5.0 to 5.3 %, depending upon the residence hall facility and meal plan options selected by students.</p>
<p>U of Washington students, brace for impact:</p>

<p>Was curious how much S1’s schools tuition was going up even though he is senior. It figures that it is smallest increase since he started, and it doesn’t matter anymore.</p>
<p>Am hoping S2’s school of choice sticks to the lower increases in the future when I am footing part of the bill.</p>
<p>Vassar College - +4.5%</p>
<p>Excerpt from letter:</p>
<p>March 30, 2009 </p>
<p>To Members of the Classes of 2010, 2011, and 2012 </p>
<p>I am writing to report on guidance we received from the Board of Trustees regarding tuition and fees and the budget plan for the 2009/10 academic year. The total comprehensive fee for students attending Vassar College next year will rise by 4.5% over the current year. This is the lowest percentage increase in the comprehensive fee in nine years, but an increase that the President and the Board of Trustees deemed necessary to maintain core programs and services. We are responding to forces in the economy with plans for 2009/10 that preserve our strength as an educational institution and the value you receive as students and parents of current students. </p>
<p>The operating budget for 2009/10 includes a significant increase in the allowance for financial aid. The increase recognizes that continuing students may require some additional assistance in order to complete their degrees. It also recognizes that need may be higher for incoming first year students.</p>
<p>According to the Oberlin Review, Oberlin tuition went up 4.5%, not what I calculated as 5%…This is what the article says:
" ‘Tuition was reduced from the original plan of a 5.5 percent increase to a 4.5 percent increase because of the economic downtown and concerns about families’ ability to pay,'…
According to Oberlin College President Marvin Krislov, the College is also allocating more money for scholarships and financial aid."</p>
<p>D2’s school has posted estimated costs for next year pending approval in July. We are full-pay so every dollar is out of pocket. It looks like about 17% OOS and 22% instate increase (tuition). I am actually surprised ( and somewhat relieved) that they spread the burden across all segments since my d is OOS and pays a lot more already.
I am kind of dumbfounded at the difference between these figures and what is posted here so far though. Maybe the schools with “good news” are releasing more info and the worst hit will delay the painful news? </p>
<p>I definitely would have discouraged looking at OOS publics more knowing what I know now. The good news is that her school (UOregon) was one of the more reasonably priced schools so even a large increase keeps their cost competitive…and she is very happy there. Thank god D1 will be finished with school next year so we will be down to one tuition! ( and thankfully d1’s school has been very good at keeping costs level).</p>
<p>And UChicago has raised tuition, too…

<p>I really hope that the costs I posted are worst case scenario and don’t actually get approved, because I have been doing some research and am hard-pressed to find anything else even close!</p>
<p>I did find this info which was kind of interesting.
[Trends</a> in College Pricing](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools)</p>
<p>I am noticing that most of the posts so far have been privates, precisely because most publics do not post until the summer after budget approvals. I can only hope that the economy improves enough before the summer that they decide to scale back this increase.</p>
<p>Looks like tuition will be up 4.9% at William and Mary, for both in-state and OOS students. The in-state tuiition cost will be $6,388 (a steal), and $26,180 for OOS (time to move to Virginia). Total cost, including fees and room/board, will be up 5.6% for both in-state and OOS. Happy and relieved to see the increase is the same regardless of residence.</p>

<p>FSU, UF, UCF USF and all other Florida state U’s going up 15%. [Board</a> approves tuition hike at public universities - Florida AP - MiamiHerald.com](<a href=“http://www.miamiherald.com/news/florida/AP/story/1102754.html]Board”>http://www.miamiherald.com/news/florida/AP/story/1102754.html) The legislature upped it 8%, allowing individual universities to increase up to an additional 7%. The Board of Governers approved the 7%. Tuition at Florida’s universities is among the lowest in the nation, and a new law signed on June 1 allows schools to seek increases totaling 15 percent EVERY YEAR until they reach the national average.</p>
<p>While “tuition” seems low, it is separated out in Florida from a multitude of fees, local fees, transportation fees, facility fees, technology fees. These are all PER CREDIT HOUR. Tuition makes up about 75% of the per credit hour fee, with 25% being nontuition fees per credit hour.</p>
<p>Hello All,</p>
<p>We have a similar thread going here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/736789-how-much-your-childs-tuition-going-up.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/736789-how-much-your-childs-tuition-going-up.html</a></p>
<p>and we’ve borrowed your list. We’re also adding the estimated gross annual dollar amount for tuition and fees only (not including financial aid and excluding room, board and other charges) and, for public college and universities, whether the student is a resident or a non-resident.</p>
