tuition hikes

Rising college fees

Tuition hikes are increases in the cost of attending a college or university.

The phrase appears constantly in discussions of higher education affordability: Students protested the tuition hike.

The plural form dominates because tuition rarely rises just once—institutions announce hikes repeatedly over time, making the pattern itself newsworthy.
