“There should’ve been more protests, but not violent ones. … (The hikes are) not fair. Some students don’t even have the advantage of getting financial aid.”

“There was a lack of overall knowledge of the situation and the reaction doesn’t feel very strong. I haven’t heard of any protests. … Compared to last year’s, this year has been significantly weaker.”

Lucy Tseng
Third-year, sociology and Asian-American studies
“I think people just need to educate themselves more on why there is this rise in tuition. We obviously need the money, and people shouldn’t be too absurd about the way they react. This goes with anything ““ people need to educate themselves on where they stand and why.”

Second-year, biology
“They’re not doing it for the hell of it, they’re raising it because they need the money. It shouldn’t affect the people without money, just the people that do (have money).”
