2009 LSU

Something like $5,000 all in for tuition, room and board.

2013 Georgia Southern (Grad School)
I was a graduate assistant so it was free, but my fee bill was like $25,000 a semester or some shite. Really wild.

LSU tuition was about $1500 a semester in 2000 and TOPS covered it.

Terminal degree was ~ $80, 000.

You can thank state reductions in Higher education subsidies. Not just in louisiana but many states. It keeps taxes low so there is that.

Yep - 86 to 90 for me and at Hatcher my first semester. I think the meal plan was another $400 or so. Student football tickets were $2 and came in a pack but you had to sign up.

If I am paying, my kids will go to UAB or a school in the ACM.

1968 - The old USL - $90.00/semester - it went up to $140.00/semester in the spring and people wanted to revolt. I think I calculated that over 4 years, I paid a total of about $2000.00 total tuition. But, of course, you get what you pay for !
