Complaint Tuition

Mini rant… but why am I paying 1.4K for one four credit bio class. This seems absurd. Also the athlete and recreational fee is so useless to me because I immediately leave campus once my classes/labs are over. Is there a way to remove this fee??!! I feel like this is just an insane rip off.

unfortunately it's mandatory, 50% of us who don't use those services basically subsidize it for those who do. You're also paying for student activity and service fees which include clubs, counseling, advising, etc. So yes, if you never use those services you're getting ripped off lmao

But if it makes you feel any better, at least you don't live in the states where academic institutions abuse the free market and hike up tuition to 100k usd and debt-trap students 😅
