New Discussion of the Week: Cost of Education

[BnLM5]

Well for now I will tell you the the parking and gas to get there alone practically kill me! I will try to explain my book situation. For starters math book was $180.00 plus $35.00 plus tax @ 7.25%. I am surprised they don't add CRV. lol

Books are seldom used for more than 3 semesters before a new edition is introduced and used. They only buy back books in excellent condition, as long as the particular edition is being used again, and you will get less than 1/2 of the money you paid for the book. That's it, sorry about your luck, these are the rules. That was one of my books this coming semester.

Then anatomy my book is $285.00. Then I have 3 more classes that require books. So there is an idea of books and cost of education.

Don't forget the scantrons, you have to have them with a #2 pencil for every exam. Cost around $3.00 for package of 5 or $1.49 each times all exams. (piddly)

But then you have tuition you pay by the unit, My tuition is $311.00 For Fall 2009. Gees I am looking so forward to all this. Thanks Tay! Man I have a lot to do....

UnGodly figures accumulate! But I think education is priceless. Just sad money is so hard to come by. I apply for federal grants and I get some help but funny thing is, it always seems like we made too much money last year to get this or that. (And we are starving) lol joke but please.

I am not a kid any more by any means and I appreciate the fact that I am going back to school. I am gonna be an RN eventually!
