Quebec tuition hike for out-of-province students already weighing on high schoolers

Despite the high turnout, Concordia director of student recruitment Savvy Papayiannis was left with the impression that the crowd was smaller than in previous years.

Papayiannis said her office is already seeing the impact of Quebec's decision to raise university tuition for out-of-province students starting next fall, with many people cancelling campus tours or withdrawing from recruitment events. “It's extremely expensive and makes it so I don't want to come here as much just because that's another thing I have to get over,” said Clement.

“It's just going to make it even more difficult for them to ... get enough money to go to Concordia, or even a university like McGill,” the 16-year-old said.
