you wanna know?
you REALLY want to know?
well.
I'll tell you.

My tuition costs: $7298
My room and board costs: roughly $7,000

that comes out to... $14,298

and that is in American dollars.

That's the whole year, hon. Two semesters. I actually don't think Michigan is badly priced for as excellent of a school it is.

what will our excellent school do for me in the long run?
that's what I want to know.
will it "open doors," like they tell us all the time?
I doubt it.

that'd be interesting to see

anyways.. it also depends on where you goto school.. the highest tuitions in canada are on the east coast.. (last i heard dalhousie's was in the 8000+ range for undergrad studies) .. and if my memory serves me correctly.. alberta has the lowest.. so where you go also needs to be factored in for canada..
well thats true for everywhere actually.. but for canada its not in state VS out of state.. i technically live in toronto yet i'd be payin the same tuition as someone in halifax if i went to to school in NS.. if i was an international student i'd pay more.

It's costing me about $11,000 Canadian for a year here at UBC, icluding residence, meal plan and tuition.

I think each year of my university education cost THIRTY THOUSAND AMERICAN DOLLARS. Not quite sure, though.

I was just offered a graduate assistantship position in the sports information department at UMass Boston, which is about $6K a year for state residents, and I'd get a $12K stipend for 10 months of work, 20 hours a week.

I'm gonna study psych next year... can't wait

Anyways I don't understand why more Americans don't come to Canada to go to school. Considering the exchange and the lower cost of tuition (even if you are a foreigner it's still cheaper than schools in the states) you could have just as high of a quality education for a cheaper price. Go to a school like UBC, Queens, McGill or Toronto and you'll be at one of the best school in North America. It's something more Americans should look into in my opinion...

I hope to start studying Psych at Queens in the fall of '04.

I'm not sure a Canadian degree is as prestigous in the States as some of the expensive schools here. No, offense, I'm sure the education is great, but I don't think it gets that same seal of approval.

State schools are just as cheap anyways, and if saving money is what you're going for, then you would go to one near your hometown. You wouldn't move to a whole other country, that would actually be more expensive.

If money is really a problem, then you would go to a community college.

well

my school is the 3rd best school in the nation
and 2nd best for psych
and I get it for free
well just 120 credits of tuition

nelison · Post by **nelison** » 4/11/2003, 2:19 pm

true Corey, most people don't know about Canadian schools, but the quality of education is great. I know reputation is key, but if you're not looking for a school with an amazing rep, then I don't see why it wouldn't make sense.
