PENN-sieve

Penn State is the most expensive public university in the country. I didn't realize what this really meant until I got my tuition bill for next semester. I was planning to take an Italian class and a Higher Education grad level class. Because I work at Penn State, I get a 75% tuition break. My bill for the four credit Italian class and the three credit grad class, after my tuition break, is $1156.25! A portion of that cost is fees ($149 for technology fee and $43 for student activities) but all the rest is for tuition.

To put this amount into perspective, I paid less than this amount for an entire semester of classes (up to 19 credits) at Northridge where I did my undergrad work. If you would like to contribute to the "Tracy Still Goes To College Fund", please send money directly to me ASAP (my tuition bill is due on January 3rd).
