document.write( "Question 1163229: Maurice is looking at his options for colleges. He can only borrow 12,570 a year for tuition. The community college in town does not offer every class he needs, and he cannot afford to attend the university full time. The university charges 3500 per credit hour (u) and the community college charges 230 per credit hour (c). In order to finish his degree on time, maurice take 12 credit hours per semester for both fall and spring semesters but not for the summer semester.
