Those are pretty big hikes to have all at once. For some, it could be the difference between getting an education and not. I don't know where some people get the idea that all university students come from wealthy backgrounds. I had to scrape and claw my way through financially with no support from family (and almost 10 years after graduating, am still paying it off). I do fee sorry for a lot of the students that are going to get screwed because of this.
Having said that, from what I read, Canadian students do not pay the full cost of school and maybe a correction is due. It's a big pill to swallow for students just starting out now though. I am glad that I missed it.
A little OT, but I do have to say that if I could go back and do it again, I probably wouldn't go the university route anyway.
