$8 per credit "technology" fee. Full load is usually 14-16 credits, so $112-128 per sememster. This is for a community college with no housing.
My school has pretty up-to-date computers and A/V equipment, so I can't complain. Lab PCs are either 2.4 or 2.66 GHz P4's, and the newer PC lab even has 17-inch LCDs. We also have a Mac lab, which I've have never used, but have been told has lots of up-to-date software and "fast enough" machines. There's a wireless signal available in most common areas, and enough "technology carts" and "modernized" classrooms to go around for professors that request them.
The "modernized" classrooms are especially pleasant. They've been remodeled with ceiling-mounted LCD projectors, large new pull-down screens, and a new lectern equipped with a PC, an "overhead" camera (high-tech overhead projector), and a DVD/VHS player (not to mention, new everything else, including paint, ceiling tiles, carpeting, lighting, tables, and chairs--decent padded chairs).
There's also a $3.75 per credit "student life" fee, plus 28 more cents per credit for some other fee. So other fees add approx. $56-64 per semester.
And "student life" seems to be A-OK with me, so what the hell? It's a great atmosphere here, with an easy rapport between students and just about all staff. Might as well pay that fee to help keep everybody happy with their student senate, student newspaper, and whatever else it buys.
