New York state legislature just passed a bill that will allow the SUNY Medical Colleges (Downstate, Upstate, Stonybrook, and Buffalo) to raise the yearly tuition $2000 a year for the next four years! They also even agreed to a retroactive yearly tuition hike of $2000 for this academic year! Even though the bill has been passed after our fall semester tuition has been paid for, we are still going to be billed for last semester. A tuition total of ~$20,000 does not distinguish the SUNYs from other private schools. Many of us chose to go to a state school because the tuition is cheaper. As a first year, I wish that we were informed of this during the application process. Surely this tuition bill was in the works well before then. Hopefully this year's crop of applicatns are fully informed of the scope of this new bill.
