UL System board approves tuition and fees

[Ragin4U]

Well if that is the national average then UL is probably at about 60% increase in tuition. Hell we are still cheaper than several diploma mills.

I think its close to 100% increase in the past 10 years but I agree, its still a bargain.

---Anybody got the other schools that were allowed and their cost??

Here's a pretty good article.. you can filter the schools by state... it doesn't provide the newest numbers though

Wow. I haven't kept up with college costs, as my kids are still not teenagers yet (I started late), but I guess this will show my age. I remember paying $857 a semester!

These numbers are shocking to me, and the numbers from the other schools even more so. I guess I better start saving up a little more.

$192.50 my last semester if I remember right. Sure someone can undercut that...lol.

If you want to go to college there is a way. Sure it may require debt. I earned a Bachelors and Masters degree working full-time. It wasn't easy and I didn't have much financial support as I'm only the 2nd person in my extended family to get a college degree. Many in the 18-21 demographic seem to think that going to college is a right rather than a privilege and feel they should be able to do so for free.

The cost of attendance must rise because the cost of operating a University has risen. Attracting quality professors is expensive. The cost of maintaining the IT infrastructure, including computers, labs, servers, internet connections, Wi-Fi, software, and printers alone are costs that have greatly affected the cost of attendance. These are amenities that had to become commonplace in the digital age. People complain about the rising cost of attendance and frankly all I can say is it should have happened sooner. Universities attempted to keep prices low for too long in an evolving higher education landscape and now are playing catch up.

Bingo.

Congratulations on your degrees. They will serve you well.

Fall, 1982 - my first semester $178.50 (still have my receipt)
Spring, 1986 - my last....about $450

I've got a Junior, so the increase directly affects me and her, but I planned for her to take 6 years to get her degree (cuz we all know women can't make up their minds...LOL).
What I want to say is that we finally caught up to STM and Teurlings!!!!!!!
