So, Truman does a flat fee for tuition, which means that I pay the same amount if I'm taking 12 hours as I do if I'm taking 17... which is there way of tricking you into the suicide of taking 17 hours a semester, which I am doing (Because I'm paying for it anyway, and because it's the only way to graduate on time) ALTHOUGH, starting next semester they are proposing to charge an extra $33 per credit hour, because they don't have enough of my soul already.
Tuition: $6,458
Room&Board: $6,490
Books: about $1,500 per year
Freshman Orientation: $305 (first semester only)
Activities Fee: $82/year (What is that?)
Athletic Fee: $100/year (Even though I pay no sports)
Music Fee: $50/semester
Music CD Fee: $25/semester (Have yet to meet anyone who knows what THIS is)
Health Services: $52/year
Parking: $50/year
That comes to about... let's see... 3229 3245 750 41 50 50 25 26 25= 7441
$7,441 per semester (Completely excluding the freshman fee)
Now let's take a look at my "Financial Aid" or as I'd like to call it, "the least amount of money Truman can get away with giving you."
Grant: Missouri Access for $625/semester
Truman Service Scholarship: $420/ semester (Which by the way, I have to work for the school to get this... which ends up being less than minimum wage, so pretty much truman works on slave labor.)
that's it. That's all the "free money" I get. I also have loans of course, some of which gain interest, some of which do not. Those eventually have to paid though, so, even though the bitch school makes me write them on my tax returns like they are the same as Scholarships because everyone wants to screw the little guy, they are not money from no where. They are money from the poor, homeless, uninsured, unemployed, future me.
As a grand total, that means I am paying $51,473 for school.... out of my ass. Because I can't get a job, because the school has me slave laboring for them. That's also not including the summer school I HAVE to take in order to graduate on time which costs about.... I'm having some trouble finding it because Truman's search engine fails at life.
*chuckles* Well, fuck Truman. While trying to find the cost of summer courses (something they apparently keep hidden well within a big vault somewhere, guarded by a cerberus, a chimera, and a liger (god, I can't believe I just made that joke) I did discover something interesting. It's a business report. Truman recently revised and raised prices for summer course because, and I quote, "Though summer classes do seem to pay for themselves [meaning that students pay enough that the budget evens out pretty nicely with a little more money than they need to run the sessions--$154, 253 to be exact], they are not good revenue producers" What does that mean? It means Truman wasn't MAKING enough PROFIT off of it's poor unaware students.
A letter I wish I could write to Truman's Executive Board:
________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Fuckers,
I want my fucking money back. I'm not paying you back, because I don't owe you shit, you cock-sucking, mother fucking, dick weed, asshole, bags of shit.
Fuck you, and your mothers,
Cynthia
