Bankrupt your University before they bankrupt you!

   Tuition fees for universities around the world continue to rise.  And so does the student protests.

Every year groups of students hover around the university with their signs and chant "Reduce Tuition Fees!"  The universities pay lip service by saying they will do whatever they can to keep fees low, but months later increase fees like usual.

Students walk around campus, seeing new buildings rising, but also class sizes rising.  Students see professor salaries increase, but their teaching ability decrease.  The school offers more course selections, but none with real world applications.  If you ask me, this sounds like students are being ponized.  As more students enroll in universities, more money goes to the school, but education quality remains the same. The universities will continue to raise fees as long as students keep showing up.

Students around the world WAKE UP! If you think tuition fees are too high, stop paying & walk out! Universities are a business, like Starbucks.  If you walked into a Starbucks and saw them charging $50 for a cup of coffee, you'll walk the Hell out of there. You wouldn't waste your time standing in front of the Starbucks with a sign saying "Reduce Coffee Prices!", you'll just go to some other coffee shop. And if all the coffee shops charge over $50/cup, you'll drink TEA! So, if all the universities charge high tuition, find alternatives for your education.

A lot universities are charging absurd amounts for tuition, but all students do are useless protests. Put your money where you're mouth is, AND WALK OUT!  If all the students did that the universities will be FORCED to lower fees or go BANKRUPT! It's SIMPLE supply and demand, but they probably didn't teach you that in school...
