Some kids have to drop out to help their families. But, I wonder how much of this is due to the high cost of tuition. Six years to finish college? Good grief, that's a scary thought. I don't even want to go there....

I corrected you by saying my school costs $6,000 a year in US funds. (the 44 figure was for everything a student needs for a span of 4 years.)

The point of posting the report was to show that our school system is just as competitive as US schools, as ranked by americans.

Those were my only points. Argue as much as you want about how great your private schools are, but this is how your system is ranked my this report.

Also i have seen other reports with similar results. This is all that is available...if you don't agree with it, it is too bad as you seem to be an expert on internaltional institutions and the quality of their programs.

ugh, I never argued about the competitiveness of Canadian schools. I believe they're on par with the US. Stop being so defensive. I don't even know why you're so offended, I just said $44k for public schools in the US may possibly be pretty expensive. Fine then, here's an EU commissioned study of worldwide academic institutions. how north american universities rank

$44,000 over 4 years, is $11k a year. $11k for tuition, books and room and board is cheap.

You brought up CalTech, the tution alone is $25k per year. Thats $100k in tuition alone. Add in other expenses like room and board, its going to be over $125k for 4 years. Counting all expenses the typical cost of going to a public uni for 4 years is typically $40-50k depending on state. All expenses at a private uni for 4 years is going to be upwards of $150k. Now how much someone pays in total is dependent on the aid they get

Now private universities have huge endowments, and alot of people pay alot less because of that.

I'm not really sure why you brought this up since I already mentioned it.

Well, like you said, Caltech is going to give some aid.. it has a huge endowment and is very tiny. I believe it also spends the most on its students. I myself went to a private school with a large endowment and I and everyone I know received aid. I'm sure some people pay a lot though. My family had 3 siblings attending $30-$40K/year universities. Of course we didn't pay half a million dollars on education!

You are saying $44k is exepensive for a public school. Its NOT, its avg. The avg of people attending private uni's is around $100k. Everyone gets aid, but only a relatively few get substaintial amounts.

And for the record. Rice gives the most per student on avg.

And for the record. Rice gives the most per student.

I agree that private schools are expensive, that's what I've been saying the entire time. I've been saying that it MAY be expensive for a public school (44k) because some public schools have pretty low tuition - $3k. It just depends on the school and area. You're basically just stating things I already know and I guess didn't elaborate much on.

As for the Caltech-Rice thing, I was mentioning per student spending, not aid. Everyone already knows Rice is amazing and graduating students with a low amount of debt. Maybe it's changed in the last few years, but Caltech usually was #1 in that regard.

$3k a year at a sh!thole maybe. Most of the top state schools(as in #1 and #2 in each state) are $6k+ per year for tution. Hell CCs in some states are approaching $3k a year for tutiton(17 credit hours/semester).

Maybe my numbers are really old or messed up, but here is what I found for a few of the public school tuitions:

GA Tech - $3444 in state tuition, Illinois = $5226 tuition, University of WA = $4458 in state tuition,

Maybe they're a little higher now. I just got them from the Princeton Review website.

Do some states with lotteries still have free tuition? I remember Georgia used to give free tuition if you graduated from high school with at least a B average. Not too sure if they still do that.

GA Tech is actually $4k in tuition iand fees. The rest you posted are tuition and fees.

 

[digitalsm]

Oh and you are well off on UMass. UMass Ameherst is one of the MOST expensive Publics in the US at $9k per year.

 

[Zebo]

Blame the right of course. Thier whole skewed world view is one where they have you in harsh an economic environment as they can create. Not only that most scoff at education. Then do you think blue bloods like GWB really wants his children competing with those ?brown? and "poor"children for a seat in the elite universities then after word going for the elite positions? Hell no. Which is why they oppose free education while every liberal in the world would have free universites, merit based admission, as in Europe and Japan. So work your ass off until you drop then maybe you'll afford a state school, the little measure a liberal can provide in compromise, while the elite are guarnteed a slot a YALE, then guaranteed a slot on Wall street. You obviously don't have the right lineage, loser.😉😀

Umass in general has low tuition, but our fees are make up for that. I go to Umass Dartmouth and our tuition is very low, but the overall cost is quite high.

Yeah, they just want to say they have low tuition. Curriculum Support certainly sounds like another word for tuition to me. Really it is, other schools lump the stuff the Curriculum Support fee covers, into tuition.

IMHO Tuition and Fees should all be lumped into a general term called tuition. Most Universities do this
