Metro college extends its contract another seven years

By Eli Hughes —

The University of Louisville has extended the Metro College Program for another seven years.

The program allows students from U of L and JCTC to work night-shifts at UPS in exchange for tuition, as well as weekly paychecks, bonuses and book reimbursement.

Sophomore Desiree Rodriguez has been a Metro College student for four semesters. Rodriguez said she has had a good experience working for UPS. Even though it is hard work and required her getting used to the new schedule of working third shift, it also helped take away some of the stress that paying for college entails.
