It's not just tuition that keeps the cost of college humming along, but a litany of fees. Sixteen items make up the bill for A's VBU and eleven of them are fees. Two others - the Student Alumni Membership and the Student Bus and Bike Programs might as well be fees. After all of that insurance, tuition and room & board seem to be an afterthought.
The fees range from five dollars to $336.04 just for the semester. Then there additional fees for participating in sports, for declaring certain majors, and certain classes. For A - the fees alone add an additional 20% to the tuition.
Bottom line: When planning for college - don't think that the tuition is the end of the story.
