Considering that the international students have already paid their housing fees for the semester, there is no logical reason to charge them to stay over spring break. This charge is exploitation against international students since they cannot simply go back home like everyone else. If the intention is to be inclusive and the school prides themselves on creating an inclusive and equitable community, it needs to be backed up. Please remove this charge for international students now and for international students from now on.

It makes no sense to charge students who pay a larger amount that students who are from this country for a week and not provide feeding as well. We need to do better as a school. Also a lot of these students chose Oswego over the so called better SUNYs just to get charge for staying on campus for a week. Makes absolutely no sense and it’s very unfair to them.

With housing making the decision of having international students pay to stay it shows where their value lies. Regardless of the price, making someone pay as if they have an option is manipulative. I really hope no students end up on the streets of Oswego due to this. Even then I doubt they would really care about that student.

They are already spent enough money to be here, no need to charge them extra!

No people should have to pay to stay in their own room over a break, especially after the exorbitant cost of housing on campus. This includes international students and all other students. This rule is a nightmare for students with housing instability as well.

It's common sense that if someone is here internationally that they may not be able to go home for only 1 week. Have a heart.

This is absolutely unfair of oswego to do. It’s taking advantage of international students who have already inconvenienced themselves enough to be a part of our student body by leaving their country to be here.

This is absolutely ridiculous the force people to pay on spring break it’s outrageous that the school would do that and completely unfair to international students who have to pay a ton of money to go back home.
