HALIFAX --
A possible tuition hike at Dalhousie University isn’t setting well with students, who say they need more support from the university during COVID-19.
Some students say they’ve faced additional stress and costs associated with learning from home, and some are even left wondering if it’s all worth the price.
“It just puts more stress on what has already been a really stressful year,” said Maryanne McLarty, a student at Dalhousie.
The university’s budget advisory committee recommended a three per cent tuition hike for the next academic year.
The draft of the plan says the increase will help provide support to students, faculty, and staff as they continue to navigate the pandemic.
