The Iowa Board of Regents unanimously approved a 3.5 percent tuition hike for the state’s public universities yesterday. That includes the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa. So what will these tuition increases cost students? For students at Iowa, it will cost an extra $305; Iowa State will see an increase of $304; and Northern Iowa students will pay $285 more. The increase goes into effect during the upcoming fall semester.
