CSU students speculate dangerous rumors to receive free tuition By Ceci Taylor @cecelia_twt
For many years, Colorado State University students have speculated about ways one can be rewarded with free tuition. Tuition is undoubtedly expensive, so creative rumors and jokes which inform students
how to avoid student loans and hefty bills are often passed around. One rumor says that if students fall victim to horrific accidents, the school will compensate them with free tuition. “This sounds bad, but I think I heard at a party that if you’re living in the dorms and your roommate dies in the room, you
get free tuition,” said Megan Lefebvre, senior psychology student. “I think I heard it as a joke.” Lefebvre also said that she once heard if it’s snowing and a tree branch falls on top of you while walking on campus, the University will compensate you with free tuition. Lefebvre said she wasn’t sure if the rumors
she’d heard were actually true, but she said she didn’t think it would be worth it even if they were. “I love free tuition,” Lefebvre said. “But, I’d rather nobody got injured.” Hannah Emery, sophomore biology student, said that she hadn’t personally heard of any free tuition rumors like Lefe-
vbre had mentioned, and she said she doesn’t think the rumors could be true. “There would be a lot of issues if people actually thought (the rumors were true),” Emery said. “I hope nobody thinks they are.”
