I'm not criticizing you at all. I'm telling you, the math doesn't add up. Something I am good at is math.

$1300 per 3-credit class, and the average semester is 12-15 credits. That's

$5,200 to $6,500 just for the class; again, it doesn't include books; let's go ahead and add another $700 for books, another $60 for lab fees PER credit hour, and $40 for technology fees per credit hour, then there are other miscellaneous fees.

That's $10,000 a semester. The average college year is two semesters, so double that. $20,000 for the year.

That's IF a student is living with their parents and not paying any other bills. If they are living on campus, then add another $3-$5000 a semester.

Let's say they work part-time jobs and live with their parents.

Let's say they make $14 an hour x 30 hours a week. That's $1680 a month before taxes... after taxes, they bring home $1350, which doesn't even pay for one class with all of the added fees.

I don't live in the dark; I live in reality.

You can thumbs-down all you want, it doesn't change the fact that you're lying and you know it.
