For many college students, how to afford their education is never far from their minds. They’re dealing with rising prices for food, housing, textbooks and tuition. Oregon State University and the University of Oregon were recently named in lawsuits filed on behalf of students who object to paying for facilities and other in-person experiences while classes were online. Isaiah Boyd is the president of the University of Oregon’s student government. Isabel Nuñez Pérez is Oregon State University’s student government president. They join us to share their thoughts and experience about paying for college.
