Money, get away.

Have you ever taken the time to look up what type of mandatory fees are in our tuition? Well the other day I did and some of them were quite shocking to say the least. Take a gander:


Mandatory Fees - 9-20 Credits
2010/2011
Per Semester
Per Year
Student Activity
48.00
96.00
Deferred Maintenance Fee
165.00
330.00
Health Services and Counseling
288.50
577.00
Memorial Union
168.50
337.00
Student Recreation
225.50
451.00
Student Athletics
441.00
882.00
Technology Fee
83.00
166.00
Transportation Fee
51.50
103.00
Total Mandatory Fees
1,471.00
2,942.00


Multiply that by the amount of undergraduates, and that is some serious money. Explanations for each fee can be found here. I was gonna go into detail and all that fun shit, but I feel like shit and have two papers to finish for tomorrow. I just drank a half gallon of OJ, that stuff does wonders. Anyways, through next Wednesday is intense so blogging may or may not be on the lighter side. We'll see. Best of luck if you have midterms or mid semester term papers like me.


Stay classy, not UMassy.
