Books were included at SELA and if you lived in Bogalusa or Slidell or Kentwood there was a free bus that ran to & from the SELA campus every day. The bus drivers were generally students and they got their tuition free and a stipend for driving five days a week.
I’m almost positive that the Kentwood bus was still operating when I started in 85.

$425 in the fall of 1983. Dorm was $600-650. Don’t remember about meal plan. My parents said it cost more in tuition to send me to private school than LSU.

$135 a semester without the ripoff of buying books for one semester, you sold them back (if the prof didn'tchange to a new textbook for that class , as they were most wont to do).
You got pennies on the dollar if you could sell them.
Last semester it went up to $160.

My first semester was in 1960 - tuition was $25, but with the fee exemption your local legislator gave you, it was exactly -0-.
What are you 80 years old?

By my calculations he’d be 78. Are you not allowed to post once you reach a certain age?

early happy bday Tuition these days is absolutely insane at colleges.
I went to tech college (vocational school). TOPS + Pell Grant meant I literally got paid to go to school. I think books + tuition were somewhere in the $500-700 neighborhood and I got $1800 a semester.

We were on the quarter system when I began college. Tuition was $17 per quarter hour. A full load was 16 hours per quarter. So tuition was $272 per quarter, not counting fees and books.
Worked tending bar and waiting tables to pay for my tuition. Graduated with no student loans!

Y’all had it good in LA.
In-state was right at $1500 a semester when I started at College of Charleston in 1993.
Tuition, room and board there now is nearly $25000 a year.

ULL May 2002 (final semester) $1,010.75

$108 for the 1973 fall semester.
$237 for the 1979 spring semester.
LSU had the lowest tuition in the nation. I could make $3000 working on boats in the gulf, or in shipyards during the summers, and during spring and winter breaks. The 1970's oil and gas boom was going on. The faculty and administration just couldn't understand that some students were paying for everything, and NOT their parents. For the commencement speech, the Chancellor Paul Merril said that, "a bill payer is very happy today". Ya! and that would be ME!
