Research Question and Hypothesis

Hi Jin Young thanks for your contribution. Although, I just wanted to clarify that we may be going in 2 Different (but equally valid) directions. I apologize if I was unclear! but Question 1 and 2 posed in my last post aimed at answering the question of Parental Influence (Independent) on Faculty/Degree Choice (Dependent) - If we're in agreement about the wording of the questions, I'll post them on the Front Page.

From Question1 I gather that we are trying to understand How post-secondary education is being funded nowadays and Question2 is to question Why. If I'm following your direction correctly (and please correct me if I'm wrong), your questions are centered around the phenomena of Student Financial Assistance. If we're in agreement about examining this topic, might I propose that we structure a question around your proposed point "(b) accessibility of student loans, use of student loans and student indebtedness for those who have initiated post-secondary studies" Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with how student loans work in Canada because I just arrived here a year ago. If you can, please share your understanding on the matter to help inform the proposed question ideas below:

- Do you feel it is difficult to obtain a student loan?

- Do your loans sufficiently cover your school expenses?

- Do you feel student loans are at a reasonable rate?

- Do you feel that your school offers sufficient Student Awards/Subsidy opportunities?

Please let me know if I should post Question 1 and Question 2 from my February 3rd post and any thoughts you may have for these new questions.
