The University of Connecticut's chief financial officer, Richard D.Gray, is recommending an increase of about 6.3 percent in tuition, roomand board for the 2010-11 academic year.
If the university'sboard of trustees adopts Gray's proposal at its meeting next week, itwould mean that in-state students would pay an additional $1,228 fortuition, room, board and fees while out-of-state students would pay anextra $2,212.
Currently, in-state students are paying $19,788for tuition, room, board and fees; next year, that expense would riseto $21,016 under this proposal. For out-of-state students, the expensewould go from $35,388 this year to $37,600 next year.
This really blows because I took an academic sabbatical for the current school year due to a lack in finances; this is after they increased tuition by 6% last year. Now I'm finding out that it's going to cost me even more when I head back...

Anyway, I'm curious to know what others are paying at their schools. Additionally, have your schools increased their respective tuition rates in light of the current state of the national economy?
