出國留學網(wǎng)訊 維吉尼亞大學新通過的一項計劃規(guī)定對大一新生的學費增長11%，并稱此舉動旨在為急需學費的學生設立基金以支撐他們順利完成學業(yè)，并提出了“高學費，高援助”的概念，然而有些學生對此表示懷疑..
The home-state price of entry at the University of Virginia will rise 11 percent next fall — one of the highest college tuition-and-fee increases in the nation — under a plan approved Tuesday that also aims to slash the debt burden for students in need.

維尼吉亞大學在周四通過的一項計劃中規(guī)定，大一新生的學費在明年將增長11%，它是美國學費增長率最高的大學之一，但同時也降低了學生的還款負擔。
The action means that annual tuition and fees for Virginians who enter their public flagship university as freshmen in the next school year will total $14,468, up from the current charge of $12,998.
