no, but now she wishes she'd applied to more realistic level schools out of state. The one she applied to -her back-up back-up waitlisted her (and everyone else with a high GPA apparently) oh well.

U of M would mean living at home I guess, but state would be too far to commute wouldn't it? But still close enough to run home for money.

Yes but it often takes whining and moaning in person to stimulate that money transfer.

I loved living on campus my first year and a half (I was an RA for the last semester). It was cool to meet new people and get out in a world away from home.
I don't know how it is at Michigan, but at Kansas, tuition is expensive for even in-state kids and the dorms are also pricey. The kids I know that go there live off-campus. |

I've heard a lot of, "there's a recession, no jobs, better go to college regardless of cost." OK, that's a plan. Now what do you major? You don't want huge debt and a sheepskin that you can only use to soak up grease from the fries you're salting.

They say the major is soaring right now
I can tell you for sure, in 1985 it was a money rush. That's a balloon number. The major didn't even exist at most colleges five years earlier. Big segment of money-grubbing assholes in my crew. Yessir I can tell you for sure |

In 1965 I took Fortran at night, in a classroom set up in a Boston office building. I figured the guy teaching it must be really old because he had a quarter sized bald spot on the back of his head. He told us this school had been set up because none of the "real schools", and there's a shitload around Boston, taught this stuff. This was the future and computers(with our guidance), would rule the world before the "real schools" caught up.
I wish I could remember what it cost. Couldn't have been much, not more than $150, and came with real soft bound books, although one was a mostly blank workbook. Figured that was a bargain to rule the world, and I was already making a list of people to execute.

Spencer got accepted to Widener, and got a $96,000 grant to boot. Chemist.
The 96/4 years is 24k of the 40 they charge. Add 13k for housing. Still a big pill.
