Students at my alma mater have been holding anti-administration actions to protest the disempowerment of the student union but all I can focus on is that I forgot our paper is nicknamed "The Poly."

Is this per year? Penn State costs ~$33k per year room, board, etc. included (and low balled), ~$47k/year for out of state. Gonna love literally $30-$50k of debt by the time I graduate

-
Yep. 2017-2018, specifically.
-
Christ, we need free college, like... Several decades ago.
-
I'm aghast. I paid about $3K/semester in-city rate to attend CUNY. Which was free when my parents went. Even if you factored in living in a nice-ass place in Manhattan, it'd be cheaper than this. And this is the NORM now for PUBLIC college! The US eats its young. Sick.

RPI is private
-
Gotcha. Whenever I see the name of a city/state/etc in the name it can be misleading... But even public colleges are still so much more expensive than they used to be.
-
Penn State is public, but also one of the absolute worst tuition-wise. The fat cats in Old Main get fatter and I have yet to see a really good use of our tuition.
-
*Old Main is our campus administration building, I gotta stop assuming people know that shit

The most expensive school (incl. board) I remember was like $40,000 when I started, and $50,000 when I ended. Good to know it's gotten even worse. ._.
-
My school requires ~250€ per semester. And that isn't actually for the school, it's for financing the student support network, the student parliament and free access to public transportation for students. Welcome to "socialist" Germany... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
And even those 250€ can be waived in extreme cases.

Four-year degree or mortgage? FFS.

That's out of fucking sight. Totally ridiculous. Totally unsustainable.

“Here’s to old RPI, her greed may never die – here’s to old Rensselaer, she raises costs without a fear...” That’s how it goes if I remember correctly, right?
