The piece comments on the amount of burden upon the educational opportunities that are privileged for many in the current society. In seeing the USC’s art building as the backpack portion of the straps that is impossible to carry upon any individual, the weight and the effort upon education and, simply, the chance to study and enter the building for education then come to the surface. Not only the effort from the student but the efforts and burden upon the family or anyone who supports the individual for a chance to wear the backpacks on a college campus are substantial. Like the title, which was a year's tuition cost without any other expenses for attending a university for me, it is then the discussion between the students and the institutions that offers both opportunities for success and the burden in the process.
