<p>“… and by balancing universities’ financial needs with affordability for families.”</p>

<p>okay… how can they do that when they say…</p>

<p>“… increase tuition up to 15% each year”
“will cost approximately $12 more per credit hour for nearly 70% of the UF and FSU students who receive a Bright Futures scholarship”</p>

<p>I don’t know about the wealth of other families, but if I don’t get good-enough financial aid, I won’t be a Seminole. I want to know how increasing tuition makes a university more affordable.</p>

<p>I’m not trying to diss it, I know they put alot of thought into it… Maybe I’m too stupid to notice, but how is this not just a plan to give universities more state-funded $ and allow them to charge more tuition?</p>

<p>I sincerely understand the situation (and have decades of savings and now student loans for two kids to show it) but for Florida to have the two flagship schools better compete nationally it takes more money. FSU and UF are among the cheapest major universities in the U.S.</p>

<p>Both are a great deal for a university education.</p>
