Parents and students at Georgia’s 30 public colleges and universities will pay more to attend school in the fall after the state’s board of regents approved another tuition hike on Tuesday. Tuition at twenty of the schools in the University System will increase by 2. 5 percent, with rates at the remaining 10 schools increasing between 3 percent and 9 percent. Students at Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia, which are research institutions, will pay the top rate, along with students at Atlanta Metropolitan College and Middle Georgia State College, which was approved for university status last month. http://www.ajc.com/news/news/local-education/tuition-increase-approved-for-georgia-colleges-uni/nks7x/
