As federal election approaches, NS students raise affordability concerns

Though postsecondary affordability has yet to become a central issue in the ongoing federal election, several students from Nova Scotia told CTV News that they believe it should be addressed. Nova Scotia Community College student Sofie Bauer and Saint Mary’s University student Isaiah Okoli raised concerns about student housing affordability, while others pointed to the high cost of tuition. “It is a larger investment every year because tuition increases more than the inflation rate,” said Dalhousie University student Daniel Petrov. Many students expressed frustration with the postsecondary affordability crisis and called on current political candidates to listen to student voices.
