[–] aniki@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I got free tuition for being a Veteran. Tuition was like 2k a semester. The fees were like 13k on top of that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago Oklahoma colleges are like this. They had some kind of tuition price freeze built into their state constitution so colleges couldn't let costs get out of control. BUT-- the law didn't say anything about fees, so schools just jacked those up like crazy. Problem is that people who get scholarships often get tuition covered, but not fees. When I went to grad school I usually had about $10k per year not paid for. Add that to cost of living and summer classes (which weren't paid at all) I was spending about $20k per year even though I had a "full ride". Just paid off my $150k in student loans this year. permalink fedilink source parent
