Affordability is a big (issue) for (students). I'm staying local (for post-secondary education in the fall).

I'm staying local (for post-secondary education) so I don't have to pay for rent. The cost of tuition and rent is not affordable. I don't want to be in a hole coming out of university. Affordability is a very important issue.
