Boulder numbers are fairly recent.

I'm not really sure what my school costs now. I'd have to guess over 40K just for tuition.

Edit: Just checked. 36K. 6K increase over 10 years. That's not too bad.

Wow. I had a 6k increase in my tuition between my freshman and senior year. 3k in one year :nonono2:

Damn, I was paying $1K for tuition in the 80s. Didn't seem cheap at the time.

Grad school tuition in 2005 was about $2500 per semester for in-state where I went to school, out of state wasn't much more. 36K is outrageous.

This is my last undergrad semester, too. Friggin' 9 years after graduating HS. I only have 2 classes for 6 credits, both lower-level classes. It would be easier if both classes didn't feel like such a waste of time.

I went into this semester hoping to kick my GPA up by a tenth or so, and that should still be relatively easy to do. If either class involved any major projects it probably wouldn't be looking so good, though.

Thats ok, we are talking here about legitimate films, about skiing and stuff. You know, films that people pay lots of money to see, and what has historically been a very lucrative and admirable field.

Not everyone goes to community college, you know.

i was a hispanic studies major in undergrad.... I had a film minor.... 3 years later I decided to go get an MBA.... there is a lot of shit to be learned from MBA's even if it has nothing to do with what you were thinking about... especially if you are looking at owning your own company or selling products... its also a really good way to meet contracts...

that being said... i am done in june, and cannot wait. this school thing gets in the way of me doing everything... and i don't even work that hard at it.

I used to get A's and be an authority on current events , politics, and history, but now I wait until the last minute to do anything and I end up checking back here after every paragraph of a paper and every chapter of a book.

That does make you an expert on current events, et al. Don't you read the Padded Room? Everybody here is an expert on current events, politics and history:fmicon:
