By Paulina Karpis and Clare Coffey | March 30, 2011

Following the Board of Trustee's March 7 announcement of a 5.9-percent increase in tuition, room, board and fees, various students interviewed by The Dartmouth said they were worried that the costs which rose from $52,275 to $55,365 may deter prospective applicants, while other students called for the College to match elevated tuition with improvements in student life. The Financial Aid Office has not received any complaints from families of current or prospective students, according to Director of Financial Aid Virginia Hazen. The amount of funding offered in financial aid packages will increase along with tuition, Hazen said. "When we do financial aid, the new costs are taken into consideration," she said.
