Cost of Tuition at OU Planning for college is something that almost every high school student goes through and when done correctly it helps students to connect to the right educational options. Part of the planning process is looking at the cost associated with the respective colleges and universities they are interested in, and the fact the tuition costs for these colleges and universities continues to go up. There’s no escaping these costs either, because if you want to make a reasonable living in America than you are going to need a college degree. In the past 20 years, "tuition increased twice as fast as the overall cost of living (Larson, 63)." There is so much talk about college and the cost of going to school to get a degree that
The social factor of power is usually based off of being wealthy and having income. Power can also add up to students becoming more popular. When students enter middle school they aim to become popular. In this scenario you can see the way power was taken advantage of by students and their parents.

Bolivian Education The formal education in Bolivia starts with kindergarten (one year), elementary (five years), middle school (three years) high school (four years), and college (five years).

Odland also mentions the rising costs can be traced back to the administrative side. With the high demand of students and influx in numbers, administrative costs rose as well. While financial aid is available and rather easy to obtain, many stipulations come along with that as well.

It appears that the less college credit hours taken, the more aid a student receives, which in turns causes a student to graduate later than anticipated.
