8. Title: “15 Surprising Side Effects of Rising College Costs.”
Examples:
Marriage: “65%of college students leave school with debt, with 25% owing more than $25,000.
That debt means weddings often have to wait until they are paid down and money can be saved.”
Kid/s: “A recent survey found that debt, largely from college, was causing 20% of young adults
to delay having children, even if they wanted them.”
House: “As tuition rises and students are forced to take out bigger loans to pay for school,
fewer young people are able to fulfill the long-standing American dream of homeownership. Only
57% of people between 25 and 44 own a home today, a 4% decrease since 1980.”

10. ● High tuition affects incoming students with an interest
of going to college because they won’t be able to
attend due to the high tuition prices
● Budget cuts also affect students because colleges
don’t have a sufficient amount of money to support
their student loans
● Along with student loans, insufficient money prolongs
the the loans causing debt which could permanently
cause a strain in that students future
Effect #2
11. Title: “The Effects of High Tuition Cost”
Examples:
1.) “With recent graduates owing an average of $35,200 in student debt
and incomes remaining stagnant, many Americans wonder whether
pursuing a college education is worth the cost.”
2.) “The average public university tuition rate has risen to $21,000, with the
private college tuition rate rising to $42,000.”
3.) “The increasingly expensive student loan rates will ultimately affect
recent graduates' children as well. With many graduates using a 20- to 30-
year repayment plan, they will have trouble financing their children’s
education because they will still be paying off their own student debt.”

there is.
● Colleges want more money to help expand their
college and make it the best.
● Colleges accept more high income students who
have better grades, test scores and etc vs low
income students with the same attribute
Effect #3
16. Title: “Class, Cost, and College”
Examples:
“ Roughly 75 percent of the students at the 200 most highly rated colleges came from families in
the top quartile of income he said. Only 5 percent came from families in the bottom quartile.”
‘“ We’re sorting students by class,”’ he said. The most prestigious colleges are crowded with the
richest kids.”
“ Those schools have simultaneously become more invested in admitting students from affluent
families. In 2011 survey of college admissions officers, more than half of those at public research
universities said they had recently ratcheted up their efforts to recruit students who could pay full
freight.”

17. ● Equality in tuition fees
● Unbiased selection
● Providing free SAT and ACT study
sessions for lower income students
● Accepting students more based on other
parts rather than their grades, family
income, etc.
Solution #3
18. ● Cost of college affects our chances of being admitted
because of the amount of money and racial
background
● Students carry debt due to loans which causes them
not to be able to support and provide for themselves
or others
● Need equal tuition fees to make college accessible
for everyone
Conclusion
19. ● Cost of college is unfair for those with low
income
● Selection process/system is unfair/biased
for those with low or high income
● Every deserves a chance to attend college
but not everyone goes because of cost
Arguement
20. ● Tuition fees gradually rises each year making it
harder for incoming students to pay for college
● Harder to be admitted
● Possible debt after graduation and possibly hard
finding job
● Future students and yourself will be struck with the
obstacle of going to college because of cost
● Not being able to financially support yourself and
future family
Why is this relevant to you?
21.
22. ● Students applying for FAFSA to get the
support they need to attend college along
the way
● Creating a way to make tuition fees equal
and fair
● Receiving a scholarship or maybe even
financial aid
