This would pay for one's room, board, and books, leaving only tuition (about $5,00 a year for them, being out-of-state students at a public school) not covered. When I went to college (2002-2007), the federal student loans had increased to a whopping $2,500 a year, barely covering the cost of my books. The cost of a higer education has significantly increased over the years, but government support of such institutions has decreased.<br /><br />2- Upon their graduation, my parents rented a one-bedroom apartment in Bethesda. Their monthly rent was a mere 10% of my mom's monthly teaching salary. I don't think I could find a legal place to live in Maryland for 10% of my monthly salary. The cost of living has far out-paced increases in income.<br /><br />So yeah, Roker can go stick his head in a beehive.<br /><br />-KrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
