Not sure. Let me ask the LA taxpayer what TOPS was in the mid 2000s.

Suckers.

$281 / semester my first year at LSU in 1981. Prices went up in subsequent years because of state budget cuts.


Started around $265 in 1979. 2010 for my daughter was around $10k.

First year at LSU ~ 5500. Paid cash for my 2 year victory lap.

Always enjoyed paying in person just to see the look on the bursar's face when I handed over 7k in 100's.
Damn I miss bartending.

$380 a class, $1200 FT semester at LSU in 1999.

I paid a Summer class from change I had collected after a year or two. I waited tables and came home with a pocket of change every night and it built up.
