So I enrolled at Owens. I prefer UT but Owens is only ~$450 for one class as opposed to $1500 at UT.
So I saved up, went in the week before to pay my tuition in full. A couple days later, once I knew what books I could get went to buy them.
1 class (Weather and Climate, I'm a Skywarn person) $167.
$167 US Dollars for 1.5 books (1 Textbook about 1/2 inch think, and a workbook).
Sadly wish I had looked online as the Textbook used was around $60 and the workbook new $50 on Amazon so might have saved a few bucks.
Still yet. $167 for a single class. I try not to be a shrew but YIKES. I could go to my favorite used book store (A Novel Idea) and probably clone my library for that same amount.
Know I'm trying to finish my degree, but by the time my kids get to college 20+ years from now, I'll probably end up spending well over 200k for a 4year education. Heaven forbid they take 5 years like most people I know.
