ut austin is about 5500/semester for in state students. that is not that bad. of course thats just tuition. lets check housing/meal plans... 13k for a whole year, lmao. great! although that is probably cheaper than trying to rent near the campus with how austin housing is.

Or is that gone now? it depends on the state; university of alabama is 12k a year, william and mary in va is 24k of course you need to add 15-20k per year for housing, food, etc, or more for schools in dense locations

They know most people can't afford full price and will apply for financial aid. Then they just use the high sticker price combined with discounts to do price discrimination so each student can

My poo poo-tier state school is now $30k/year instate ($12k tuition, $18k books + room&board). It was $20k/year out of state when I went there 20 years ago. I can't stress enough that most people have never heard of this school. e: lol nearly $50k/year for out of state and international students.

it's just good use of the cueing strategy for reading. first word in thread title is the same, second word starts with the same letter and looks rather similar. that's close enough for everything in life that matters.

colleges are major real estate players, often being located in the heart of depressed areas with a drive to force out locals and put up fancier and fancier buildings to drive tuition increases

I'd say you should probably send them abroad to Germany or somewhere else with low (or no) tuition fees, but given how Europe's turning fashy incredibly quickly + they'll have to learn a whole second language beforehand, that's probably not an option

Even if it only succeeds 1/100 times that means free money 1/100 times.

Xaris posted:yep. They got me once by having a current student in my degree track call and ask for advice, which really caught me off-guard. I answered earnestly and was so loving piss when she pivoted to asking for money. Like not at her, she's just doing this to make money, but the gall of those assholes. Very much relate to that John Mulaney bit. I gave you a lot of money. You gave me a piece of paper. Our transaction is over.
