Got a letter from Michigan Tech today...
I am getting 12k off the 19,800 price for out of state. And if my mom takes a class at the school, I get in state tuition which is about 12k a year...
I was pretty pumped, haha. Even though Michigan is third on my list after Platteville and South Dakota School of Mines...

Wait, I don't get it, must be a USA thing, you got 12k for what?

Attending college outside of the State you live in costs more than going to a college inside your own states borders. I think what he's saying is that he got 12k knocked off of his out-of-state tuition cost. Correct Superman?

i go to city college for about 20 bucks a unit. and my school is ranked fairly well for a cc. i like it. yah college is a lot for out of state people, we have a lot of foreign people and they pay a whole lot more.

SUPERMAN!!!!! I'm going to apply to Michigan U - Ann Harbor next year. It's around the bottom of my list, but hey! if I go there, we'll be relatively close I think. That'd be kind of cool to have a CF member close to where I live. Closest here is Bullzi if I'm not mistaken, but he's still a 2 hour drive or so away.

Really? That would be cool, haha. I have a friend who wants to go there actually.

Basically, Michigan Tech costs $19,800 a year for tuition + room and board if you don't live in the state of Michigan. If you do live in the state, it costs around $12,800 I think. But if a family member is an alumni, you get instate tuition. And if my mom takes a 3 day class over the summer, she becomes an alumni according to them. So if she takes a 3 days class, my tuition is less then $1000 a year. Considering I have about $20,000 saved up so far with all my family members... That's not too shaby, lol. I just don't know if I could stand winter from October to May. And Freshman year is student teachers or something...

Well I just went on the site of Michigan Tech, and was slightly disappointed when I saw the tuition. My mom told me the numbers I saw before. But she was pretty far off... Out of state is like 34k, and instate is the 19,800 number she had...
