DIALOGUE 3
Talking of the cost of education
Ivanov: Is the cost of education very high?
Barbara: It has actually tripled within last twenty years or so. A student’s expenses usually include housing, because many students live away from home, food, books, and personal expenses and of course the tuition fees, which is what one pays to enroll in courses. That’s why a lot of students, for the most part unskilled, are in need of jobs to be able to continue their education. So they’re a good supply of cheep labor. And when you can get a job, the wages are usually not high, both on and off campus.
Ivanov: It must be very hard for the family budget.
Briggs: It sure is. Education is very expensive in the USA. However, we believe it to be a good investment for a lifetime.
Ivanov: Do students usually live on campus?
Barbara: Yes, most of them live in dormitories, “dorms” for short. For those who do not, the housing situation is hard because the rent is constantly on the rise.
Ivanov: What kind of financial assistance can be offered to students?
Donald: A student can be offered a loan. This must be repaid with interest after the student leaves the school. Then there’re grants that are awarded to needy students and they don’t have to be repaid. Many students get financial aid.
Ivanov: Is academic performance taken into consideration in awarding grants?
Donald: Not usually. But there’re also scholarships, which are awarded for academic excellence as a rule. Barbara’s got a scholarship. In Graduate School, the graduate students involved in research projects usually get fellowships.
