Polina Gaga remembers how excited she was to receive her admission letter from Carleton University earlier this month.
But the 17-year-old said her excitement quickly turned to dismay when she realized how much she was being billed for one year of study.
“When I opened my letter, it was saying that estimated tuition for one year for my program is around $32,000 to $47,000,” Gaga said. “I was really shocked and sad at that moment, and I was really confused what to do next.”
