My first semester at Southeaster, fall of '82, with room and board was about $900 a semester, and that included books...

My senior year Rummel was $2200, my dad said, when I decided to go there, where do I send the check...

So who worked at Tulane, mom or dad?

$150 a semester in 1973. Being in sciences, my books cost way more than friends in biz or education, about $200 even as used books.

Nice. Living the dream.

My frat's bookie and brother was 31 when he walked and he lived in the house for 11 years. Sounds absurd but he was a good dude. Lebowski in real life.
