I got it the third time, but I'll PM you my email anyway, in case whatever it was happens again. Thanks for the multiple tries!
Here is a quick question.... in my vet orientation at MIZZOU they said the average debt of the class of 2011 was 110,000...So the projected debt for our class of 2015 is something like 166,000? I am sorry but that just can not be right.
I refuse to believe that it could cost up to $150 000 to attend PEI and $165 000 to attend SGU..
Where is the $165,000 figure coming from? Are you looking at the original documents at the beginning of the thread, because there were some errors with that one. The table lists on Google docs a few posts up is corrected and up to date and lists tuition at SGU at $129,513 and COA at $252,883.
Hmmm. OK-
Saskatoon tuition is $7174 CN per year; it comes to $7905 annually with fees. At 7% increase per year that totals $35098 over 4 yrs.
At Calgary, if tuition is $5301 and fees are $503 per semester that comes to $11,610 per year; at 7% a year f four years that totals $51548 over 4 years.
More along the lines of what you were thinking?
jemappelejane- working on that
Braki- yeah, previous versions' Calgary figures were based on the $5301 being for the year, when that's just a semester. I fixed it- thanks for catching that!
jemappellejane,
UCD tuition 28,200 euros per year

nauseated by the cost of veterinary school? I know it is expensive but is it even practical? Its making me question going afterit....I'mnot sure what everyone else's financial situation is but I graduated from undergrad with about 17k in debt, to go another 200+ in debt is daunting...and I'm starting to think maybe I should just look into an accelerated nursing program....please tell me I'm not alone in feeling so completely hopeless and lost in allof this...its so scary...
are you sure NC state is only $83398 cumulatively, i thought it was close to 40,000 per year for out of staters, just curious
this is helpful though
I'm assuming this is a dumb question seeing as how you are all talking about the ~%7 increase yearly...but are you not locked in to a tuition cost your first year? I'm not even sure if that is standard for all undergrad schools, I just know that I was locked in to the tuition cost of my school when I started undergrad for 4 years, so I never had to pay more even though tuition has gone up over %30 since I started.
It's definitely not standard for all undergrads. While I can think of one off-hand that does do this (and one that used to lock in the rate if you paid all four years at once...hahaha), I'm pretty sure that the vast majority don't. My guess is also that schools that do this tend to have larger jumps year-to-year in tuition than those that don't because not everyone is paying the higher rate, so they need to make up for it, even though you pay the same every year.
Anyway, no, AFAIK, no vet schools do this. I'd imagine it's rather unheard of at state schools because state funding is going to fluctuate unlike how funding works at private schools, though I'm basing this on nothing factual.
jemappellejane- Yup
rubygirl- Nstarz is correct, and that explains the lower than expected cost. The other three schools that allow reclassification from non-resident to resident after your first year are UCDavis, OSU, and Missouri.
Rocky922- like kakurubird, to my knowledge no US vet school locks in tuition at your first year's rate. I know from putting together tuition histories that several schools have done so in the past when they increased tuitions- made getting the increase approved more palatable. Basically anyone admitted after the date the increase was approved paid the new rate but anyone already on school finished at whatever rate they already were paying. In schools with stepped increases, ie a set amount every year for x years, it made accounting very complex.
SnowyRox- good to know about the UK schools. I'll document that and include it in the EU/AU list I'm pulling together. And I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a copy of that lit from your interview packet. Nice to know where that number came from; I suspect at some schools the people who are talking to students are not the same people who are talking to IPEDS are not the same people talking to AVMA are not the same people talking to state legislature...
Resident or non-resident, NStarz? Yes, the figures for all four schools reflect instate residency after the first year.
Are these COA estimates all based on the same variables? For example, the UC-Davis breakdown from their site includes about $15K for food costs and also includes the summer between 3rd and 4th year in their calculations. The Colorado State site as I understand it does not. These are pretty substantial disparities, no?
If Davis has $15k calculated for food but CSU doesn't, it doesn't mean you'll have to scounge up an extra $15k to attend CSU or starve.
Why is this not the case? Where does the projected money for food get factored into the COA for students who attend CSU?
Room and Board (living costs).
Food is indeed essential for living .
So CSU is projecting that it will cost $8,622 for all living expenses including rent, food, utilities, etc? Is that even remotely possible? Davis has estimates at over twice that amount...
