While college, for most of us, is a time we loved, there are definite stressors.  Balancing homework and extra-curriculars, finding that next person to spend time with, and mostly, paying for it.

The State of Idaho has just made a move to, if not reduce, maintain the already established level as stress as all of Idaho's 4-year colleges have announced the intent to freeze in-state tuition for next school year.

The Presidents of Boise State University, Idaho State University, Lewis & Clark State College, and University of Idaho jointly announced that undergraduate tuition rates will be frozen at all four schools for the 2020/2021 school year.

That means that Boise State undergrads would again pay $4034 per semester as residents of Idaho next year.

All state agencies are facing the potential of a 1 percent cut for this fiscal year and a 2 percent cut starting next year, so the tuition freeze may be a surprise to some.  Especially when Idaho's public universities are 8th lowest in the nation for tuition cost already.
