<p>I have read about the OVERALL fees being higher at Davis than any other UC. Davis is building up their Div. 1 athletics, so I guess that has something to do with the higher athletic fees, but I don’t know. I know that my son said he wanted to go to a school with a football team or at least a school with some school spirit. It seems there is a price to pay for this. Hopefully, the program will continue to grow and it will become a source of income from ticket sales, merchandise, etc. </p>
<p>I am a mom who will be paying these fees, so I know I don’t want them to increase, but I think fees are the back door way to raise money without raising the tuition. Is it justified? Usually this is a personal feeling depending on what is important or not in the eyes of the beholder.</p>
