As a fourth year Commerce student, I understand that with the rising inflation rates students are facing numerous new barriers towards attaining post-secondary education. Students, I believe, have to work more paid hours then ever before to obtain enough income to pay for all expenses while attending university. The increase in prices also may mean that students have to find ways of reducing spending in other areas. I am interested in which areas are the first to be affected by this.
