BTW, i'm not hating on RIT, I do go here ....well, actually I am I suppose

That is the average from RIT for my major (low was $43,000, hi was $90,000). And I know for a fact that full time jobs for me are not too hard to come by and keep. No offense to any here, but I'm not in IT.

Dont feel bad, IT is not a real major anyways

Damn skippy . At least that's what the people that are in CS and all of the real engineerings (not the engineering techs) say.

Btw, what is your major?

Luckily for me, after all is said and done, ive made about $8,000 going to a public university. That was one of the reasons i chose public over private for my undergrad. My graduate (or law) school will be another story though.

Even with scholarships I owed about 25k. It's all paid now though.

My parents will pay for Univeristy Tuition fee of £1150 every year. For 4 years of my BS CS course. The price goes up every year. They'll pay for accomodation which is £3200 for first year apartments. They'll pay for my travel card which is about £60 a month for all zone pass in London. They'll give me £50 a week for food. So that totals to be abbout £8k a year living in London. 2nd year I'll probably rent somewhere or live back at home.

My parents had no education so they want me to have a really good education. Asian family. So I'll have no debts from Uni at all. I'm not allowed to take out a loan either. I'll get a job for extra money.

Uni in the states is VERY pricey compared to England. Here you pay £1150 a year for tuition fee. Accomodation and basics to live.

Bah, all these people are talking about private collages. I went to a public university and I paid roughly $2000 a year for my tuition.

Not any more. To go to the University of Iowa as an undergrad, you'll be looking at $3600 a year in tuition alone. They are going to be raising by 18% next year. Estimated costs for tuition, room&board, books, misc. fees brings the tab up to nearly $10,000. This is for in state residents. Out of State residents pay nearly $20,000. It's compounded by the fact that state schools give out dick for financial aid short of student loans and work study(if you are lucky).

Iowa is cheap compared to University of Illinois. To go to UofIL, I would have been looking at close to $12,000 a year, only $5,000 short of private school. After I got $6,000 in scholarships from the private school, plus free room and discounted board for being an RA, it was actually cheaper than public school.

My fiance will graduate from Pharmacy school in 3 years with about $80k racked up in debt

Why sad face? She'll be able to repay that pretty quickly....pharmacists are paid pretty well.
I went to a state college and had a $4500/year scholarship. The little bit the scholarship couldn't cover, my parents were able to contribute. I don't even have any credit card debt.
I must say, I caught a lucky break financially.

I know pharmacists make a load of dough, but she's going clinical and they don't make *that* much money. She'll be looking at probably $60,000'ish a year salary after a year of residency. It's not bad, but it's not *great* either for going through 8 years of school.

We figure it'll take 6-8 years at a little under $10,000 a year to pay for it

I am a CS major.

Wow thats a lot of money....

I'm going to college in 2 years, I guess this gives me something to think about.

Did your parents help you with your tuitions? or did you pay it all yourself?

Other than the small scholarship I got, it is all coming from loans. If my parents were able to help me out with my costs, they probably would, but my dad doesn't make enough money (mom only works part time, 2 days a week) to help out much, if at all.
