University of Wisconsin dorm-dwellers face fee hike (AP)

University of Wisconsin System students who live in residence halls and purchase meal plans could be hit with fee increases averaging $335 this year, budget documents show.

Some students said Wednesday the proposed hikes for student activities, services and room and board seemed excessive during a recession. But one national expert said they are a bargain compared to those in other states and will help pay for improvements.
