According to this, the average yearly tuition cost alone for Yale is appx $47,600. With boarding is $66,465
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Haven,_Connecticut
According to this, New Haven residents on average make about $29,604 per household. So, if you want a room at Yale while attending Yale, its going to cost you nearly twice of what your average family makes in a year. End result? The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. Welcome to America, where the American Dream died in the pocketbooks of the wealthy.
Yeah. Why I stayed home for college. $10k per year is much nicer on the wallet.
RE: Last Post Wins - asianmattdog - 04-02-2017
Same. A nice $5k/yr will do it for me.

Seem this in a few places, is us collage what we in the UK would consider a collage in the UK? (As in, done from 16-18)? I'm just asking as in the UK it would be very unusual for anyone in the UK to be away from home for college.
RE: Last Post Wins - Unknown98 - 04-03-2017
No college in the US is like University.
RE: Last Post Wins - skifans - 04-03-2017
Ahhh, ok.
RE: Last Post Wins - Aussie - 04-03-2017
Some of the course costs here can get pretty extreme, with undergraduate courses usually costing around $40,000, and some over graduate courses topping $110,000, on top of boarding, which can get to $30,000/yr. Luckily we have government programs like HECS-HELP loans which don't generate interest and don't make you start paying them back until you earn over $50,000/yr, instead of the student loans you have in the U.S.

Well hey at least it wasn't your first choice. Practice on the ones you don't really want
This particular University does. Thankfully my first choice doesn't interview
RE: Last Post Wins - asianmattdog - 04-03-2017
Interviews for colleges = essays for colleges in the US...?
RE: Last Post Wins - skifans - 04-03-2017
Wait, you have to write essays? We write a one page summary about ourselves and what we have done (called a personal statement) but you only have to do one which you submit to all of your universitys. Sounds like it might be similar, might also be to do with travelling, do people generally go to collage across the whole US or stay in their state? In the UK while it may be a long trip in general most people would be able to go to an interview on public transport or with their parents. Id imagine this might not be the case in the US?
RE: Last Post Wins - Unknown98 - 04-03-2017
Sometimes you have to write essays about why you want to go to a particular college, telling about yourself and what you've accomplished, etc. Basically like a personal statement I guess. But kind of sucking up to the school and telling them why you love that school. I had to write one or two but most of the universities I applied to didn't require one. Each essay would be a little different depending on the university's requirements for the essay.
It really depends. A lot of people travel out of state for university and a lot of people stay in-state. It depends on what you can afford and/or are willing to spend. Colleges in the same state allow you to pay "in-state" tuition, which is lower. If you go out of state, you have to pay a higher "out-of state" tuition. Colleges here typically don't have interviews... I've never heard of that happening but maybe some of the more lavish universities have them. If you had to travel to interviews at universities across the whole US that would be a very expensive travel bill lol. A lot of people would be limited to their local university in that case.
