Students marched down Water Street in St. John's on Saturday to oppose Memorial University's announced tuition hike. Tuition for international students will rise to $20,000 per year. Kat McLaughlin, Newfoundland and Labrador chair of the Canadian Federation of Students, said the proposed tuition hike will quickly impact students both near and far. The group also held a rally in June to voice their concerns, before the tuition hike was announced. @CBCNL pic.twitter.com/G5bsyuPW1h —@HeatherMGillisFor international students like Fahmida Ahmed, who is also director of finance with the university's students' union, a four per cent tuition hike will be felt instantly.
