		<description><![CDATA[According to an August 2011 study by the College Board, the majority of students who just completed their first year of college feel that higher education is vital and worth the time and expense. However, they are expressing regret that high school didn't prepare them well enough for college.  Apparently, high school students going to college are getting a pretty rough wake up call.

Nearly one-quarter of students  in the study were required to take non-credit remedial courses during their freshman year, while 54 percent reported that their college classes were “more difficult than they expected in terms of what students needed to know and what was required to get good grades.” Getting ready for college is an essential task, and it's a shame that students don't feel like the job is being done well enough. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[College is extremely expensive. There simply is no way around it. Paying for college tuition is an arduous task that often requires great sacrifice. With the average college debt after graduation on the rise, it can be an overwhelming expense to incur.

Fortunately for a lot of students, their parents are more than willing to shell out the cash to pay for their schooling. Parents paying for college is a societal norm that is relatively common, but this isn't always the case. Do parents have to pay for college? Of course not, but the better question is, should parents pay for college? Some argue that when parents pay for college, the child doesn't value their education as much, while others says that the parents should be the ones paying for college tuition because the child would likely have no means of paying for it. ]]></description>

		<title>Illegal Immigrants in California Are Granted In-State Tuition</title>

		<description><![CDATA[According to The Los Angeles Times, a recent California Supreme Court ruling decided to reject a challenge to California's policy of granting reduced, in-state tuition at its colleges and universities to graduates of its high schools who are illegal immigrants. The ruling allows for illegal immigrants in college to qualify for in state tuition, a decision that is very controversial and highly debated. Some argue that in state tuition for illegal immigrants simply isn't fair, while others desire for illegal immigrants in California to be helped out in anyway possible to better their lives.

"The justices turned down an appeal from lawyers for a conservative immigration-law group that contended "preferential treatment" for illegal immigrants violated federal immigration law," the article states. "They cited a little-known provision in a 1986 law that barred states from giving "any postsecondary benefit" to an 'alien who is not lawfully present in the United States ? on the basis of residence within a state.'"

However, last year, a supreme court ruling in California declared that the state's policy did not conflict with federal law because the tuition benefit turned on a student's high school graduation, not the person's residency. The 2001 law stated that the state would give in-state tuition to a qualified student who attended a high school in California for three years and graduated. ]]></description>
