It’s Hard Out Here For A

Person Interested in Matriculating Properly.

According to reports, Georgia State University is the latest in a string of universities who have decided to no longer accept Visa as a method of payment. The reason? The cost of Visa’s fees ($750,000 annually) is more than the university is willing to pay.

Although the university will continue to accept Discover, Mastercard, and American Express, I’m worried that this change will make college even less accessible to people.

Thoughts?
