2. "No it hasn't, financial aid and my family have been able to provide for my tuition needs."
3. "I have adjusted my habits. It's pretty simple. I don't buy any superfluous things. I only buy the necessary items and don't go out as mush, don't eat out as much, and don't buy as many clothes.
4. "I think the university could provide more jobs to students and provide some sort of discount on tuition for those who work."

1. "It is harder to get jobs and keep a job. It is also harder to get a job depending on your major."
2. "No. I get financial aid and if I need money I can call my grandma."
3. "Now I spend my money on other necessities. I spend it more wisely now. I still spend but I look for the discounts. I used to buy stuff no matter what the cost was."
4. "There is a lot that can be done, but the question should be what should not be done. The university should reduce fees that have nothing to do with us. The university says so many of the things they do are free but our tuition pays for these free things whether we use it or not."
