Hi, my name is J Gonsalves and I am a Lesley University art student. Like many other students, I have struggled financially and have not been able to come up with the money for supplies for school projects. One of the requirements for most art classes is to have Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator on our computers. For some of us, it is hard to come up with $25 dollars a month to pay for those apps. This is interesting because when students enroll at Lesley, they pay a $500-$600 supplies fee. They only give us a tiny little tool box and some paper, which certainly doesn’t amount to $500. Yes, we can use the Adobe programs on school computers, but some of us have late classes or commute and can not stay in the computer labs until all hours of the night. These programs should be free to download and the university should be providing them for us. Myself and many others are tired of being penalized for our work not being used in these programs because we cannot afford them financially. Sign today and help us out!!
