HOLY COLLEGE COSTS BATMAN!!!!?!?!?11

[w1ngzer0]

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh $207 bux for 1 credit

[gabossie]

Man, I remember when JC's were $11 a unit. Where was it $207?

[w1ngzer0]

ASU- Arizona State University.

[DAEDALUS]

Bah $2500/semester is still pretty damn cheap. But yeah, I did pay $11/credit last year.

wow can have some of your money? if i could pop 2500 out of my *** i would say the same thing.

[DAEDALUS]

I'm not saying it's peanuts, but it's all relative--those numbers are close to average:

At four-year public institutions, tuition and fees average $579 more than last year ($4,694 vs. $4,115, a 14.1 percent increase).

At four-year private institutions, tuition and fees average $1,114 more than last year ($19,710 vs. $18,596, a 6.0 percent increase).

These are last year's numbers ('03-04). Add another 14% for '04-05 and you're over $5k/year.The lesson here is don't go to a private institution unless you're pretty sure you can make a wad of cash after you get out. I think degreed people make $10k/year on average more than non-degreed people, or something like that. After taxes, $10k/year salary doesn't really justify spending $20k/year on tuition!

And then, of course, there's USC:

Estimated Undergraduate Costs for 2 Semesters living on/off campus (not with parents or relatives) taking 12-18 units. (This budget is based on a flat rate of tuition for 2 semesters). Tuition and mandatory fees $30,512 Room and Board (on campus or off campus / not with parents or relatives) $8,998 Books and supplies $650 Transportation $580 First semester Orientation fee $140 Miscellaneous expenses $1,634 Total estimated costs ***$42,514***

170 THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST TO GET A COLLEGE DEGREE.

I'd have to disagree with you and say I don't mind spending what I do per year for school, because I will make a hell of a lot more with this Mechanical Engineering degree than I would without it. And coming from one of the better engineering schools, will make it pay off even more.

And for the person thats crying over $207/ credit hour.....cry me a river. I'm paying roughly $875/credit this semester. After fees and such, my university costs $16500/semester. I guess thats the price you pay for a pretty well known private engineering school.

Sadly, that's why I go to Cal Poly Pomona rather than USC. I got in, but there was no way I could afford it. Or for that matter, it wouldn't be worth it for me. I get a great education where I am and I pay CSU fees. Saving some serious change.

[Chingon]

and yes, my tuition went up, and I don't qualify for financial aid (and no, it's not because i have money).

[w1ngzer0]

[GEO]

Dude, thats nothing, I thik my school is $3000 / class ( 3 credits )

[w1ngzer0]

well everything in NJ is fa fa ****ed up lol

[JDMaholic]

Ya Purdue tuition alone is like 3,800 a semester in state and if your out of state it's like 20,000 a year for tuition alone. So I would say your getting a deal

[psychic_mechanic]

Yet another reason to join the military.

[vicki]

Good lord!!! Where do you go???

I pay 5g's canadian. 3750 USD for a year full course load. But I go to one of the most expensive Universities in canada. The most expensive school here is a law school that charges 25g's cdn a year.

[vicki]

Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA

But I have expensive tastes otherwise 40k would be enough.

[HashiriyaS14]

Try Semester at Sea:

I think the total bill ended up coming to like $26,500 for like 100 days (1 semester). Financial aid pwns.

[w1ngzer0]

40k x4 years = own3d

[silkk]

It costs $17 a unit at the JC i go to. Kinda cheap but it's still too much for me.
