I just found out what Tuition will be for me next year and am now concidering trasnferring. I wasn't anticipating being in debt for the better part of my younger life 

So for those of us in the college age who are attending Universities, what is your roughly tuition costs for the year *assuming you are on a quarter system, make it three quarters. As for Semesters, make it two.*

On a quarterly system, I will pay close to $27,000USD next year for 3 quarters of school.

Oh if you want to include room/board then yeah lets do that.

I think I'll be paying another 6$-8$ on top of tuition for living expenses (not including food)

$1,700 per semester. So, $3,400 a year plus books. No room and board for me, my classes are only a 20 min drive, 3 days a week. Community College has it's perks, and it's even better if you can stay at home because no one there bothers ya.

Edit: My join date on this user name was my first day of high school.

Jeez. Clearly I've been paying too much for a higher education!

Yeah I did the whol Comm. College thing for a couple of years and it was nice. Felt too much  like high school for me though. I'm at a private university and so we don't have tax funding to help lower costs of tuition. In state or out of state, $26k a year in tuition alone.

Well, put it this way: Two years ago, when I was starting my freshman year, my estimated cost to go to my 4 yr college was about 60,000 ( This includes almost everything as far as cost go, ie tuition, room/board, books etc). Tuition has gone up every year since then and is still threatening to go up again.

In other words, freaking expensive. I'll be paying this off for years to come. This engineering degree had better pay off later.

NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

Are you intentionally slighting non-traditional students?

Good stuff, isn't it.  Get as much education at the lower ranks as you can; in most cases, it tends to get harder to complete as you get more (work/life) responsibilities.

mine is about $3,500 per semester. I'm comuting and it's about 20 mins. away. (well 30 mins. with traffic) and i don't know how much my books are going to be just yet. and i know that my parking permit is $25.

my college is cheaper than most, but it's still hard for me to come up that cash myself.
