the Cost of College Tuition

Tuition paid for one semester of undergraduate classes, 16 credit hours broken up into the following classes: Calculus 1, General Chemistry 1, Writing about Literature (COM 102), Trigonometry Review, and Digital Logic. This cost covers only lectures and lab materials, but not books, lab coat, or goggles. Also covers cost of parking.

Cost breaks down into tuition, $14460, and parking fees, $37.

I feel that although expensive, I feel I've received quality in the classroom. I attend a school with a great reputation, so the degree will be worth quite a bit. In particular, my calculus course has just the right pace, and the lectures are thorough, which leaves nothing to be desired. In contrast, my digital logic course (which is the course most in tune with my major) has been fairly awful, with an instructor who seems to know little about the teaching process. The campus is nice, not incredible; it has wireless internet throughout, although there are dead spots. There are three different places to eat on campus, one of which has some really delicious burgers. The library has four floors, each with a vast variety of resources. Events are organized regularly (by students), so there is often something fun to do any night of the week.

Be sure you research professors and the facilities before choosing a school. I wish I had more thoroughly researched schools, so that I might have seen more options for professors in my major.
