I just found out that the college I will be attending this year is becoming a university my sophomore year. Does this change mean I'm eventually going to have to pay alot more?
It would be great if anyone had some facts on this; such as colleges that have made the change in the past.

Yes, it will increase because in order to be a university, a certain percentage of the faculty has to have a Phd. whereas with a college, you might have entire departments where all anyone has is a Master's Degree. Phd's are more dedicated to research than they are to teaching and get paid considerably more.

Not necessarily. The difference between a college and a university is that a college usually has just one school, and it's usually the liberal arts. Universities are comprised of several colleges in many disciplines. The upside to this is that your school will likely have more students and, therefore, more government funding. In my experience, it is more expensive to go to a college than a university because of the limited number of students in a college. Hope this rings true for you!
