3 ~4 c6 p" i" _' v3 m3 F( b6 Q. qGood news. U of A plan to stop increase tuition for students who are recently in U of A. However, they will increase tuition the current students who will go to U of A next year. Sounds fair. I deeply agree. ! j" W" ?6 ]: n4 x4 t' ^+ _

undergraduate international students from the increase to the

increase in the international undergraduate differential from 157% to

will pay $15,353.89 (assuming that the 5.75% increase happens). At
