Most college students are concerned about the continuously rising cost of tuition. But despite their desire to have the tuition decreased, the overall cost of tuition has been increasing continuously. Because of the increasing tuition, some students are in serious debt, which sometimes leads to protests against the ever-increasing costs.
When it comes to increasing tuition costs, the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) is no exception.
According to the graph below, the UMD tuition has been increasing every year since 2008.
In this situation, the candidates of the 2012 presidential election are taking different positions related to the tuition issue.
President Barack Obama has stressed the importance of education, while Mitt Romney seems to have no specific plans for the tuition issue.
