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. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

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) ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

| $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. |

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. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

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.

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. -------------

Easy solution, The National Guard's tuition programs. Several states 100% tuition, and just pick a non-deployable MOS and two days a month, 2 weeks a year for a debt free education after 5 years. But of course service for a benifit may not be many of your goals in life. -------------

I'm surporised at you. I wouldn't personally try to recruit anyone witha hook like that- as far as I'm concerned, if they're not deployable they're not employable. I'm sick of people using the military to pay for school with no intention of any real service... I see far too much of that in the reserves here. But yeah, so I pay about $2400 a semester or so. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

From what I hear many NG's go from clerk/jerk and bottle washer avoid deployment types to wanna go status voluntarily once in. Once the initial "fear" of deployment is eased through thier expieriences in the army, many readily volunteer for reclassifacation. -------------

Personally I feel the Reserves are being used way more heavily than they were ever intended to be lately anyway. Now, whether that means we need less full time military personnel deployed or a larger military is up to debate, but I think they've done a great deal of harm to the Reserves program by turning them into full-time soldiers, long term, at the drop of a hat. ------------- Real Men Love Cheeses |

I paid off my first year with scholarships alone, and it is looking like I can do the same with the upcoming year as well.

Yes, the downsizing of the Military during the Clinton administration is coming back to bite them. The supposed defeat of the Soviets in the Cold War warrented? a reduction, that along with budget cuts, doomed the military in the event of any conflict to begin to relie more heavily on the Reserves and Guard. The restructuring of the Active forces into a 3 part TO+E of Active, Reserve, and Guard, Main Force Brigades the military to use Res and NG more than ever. One Active Brigade, One Reserve Brigade, One National Guard Service/Support Brigade is now the standard TO+E to bring Combat Divisions to full strength in the event of a major conflict. -------------

That is going to depend fully on the stipulations of the scholarship. Was it offered strictly because of your father's connection to the company? Or was it a company wide one that you applied to and received. If it is the latter, I would advise you to continue to send letters of thanks and your transcripts to the person in charge of scholarship selection (probably in the PR department) as if nothing has happened. You might impress them enough to keep it. Whatever you do, just make sure you keep contact with the people who do the scholarship disbursement. I don't understand why more students don't actively pursue scholarships. I think laziness has a lot to do with it. I applied for over 35 scholarships. Yeah, I only got maybe 7 or 8 of them, but I would have never gotten them without trying. -------------

I'm in the reserves but not using them for tuition costs. I'd rather pay my own way and be able to get out when I was originally planning than having to up my service time for a handfull of years. Not that I don't like the military, but I want something else at that time in my life when I graduate.
