After regaling family and friends with stories about our recent travels -- specifically about Drew and Princeton -- and being asked a few too many times, "what's tuition at Drew?" I decided to look it up.
Hold on to your hat. And windbreaker. And shoes. And most definitely your wallet.
Tuition this year at Drew was a mere $37,310. ('Scuze me while I have a coughing fit.)
Oh, but it gets better! Here it is with room and board and fees (taken directly from Drew U's website):
| Tuition: | $37,310 |
| Room: | $6,702 |
| Board: | $3,666 |
Fees
- General Fee: $560
- Health Insurance: $588 (required for International students)
- Orientation Fee: $250 (First year students only)
- Technology Fee: $125
- Transcript Fee: $25 (First year students only)
The Turkey won't need the health insurance fee because he's not an international student -- oh goody! that's a $588 savings! break open the champagne! *cough!* -- but that still gives us a grand total of $48,638. Per year.
With 28 months to save for this potential expedition, and assuming college will be a 4-year thing for the boy, that means I have to sock away...doing the math so you might see smoke...yeah....OMG!...I would have to save $6,948.29 each month between now and then! *hack!* *cough!* *smoke!* *swoon*
Thank goodness the words "tuition" and "remission" are together and part of my benefits package. Thank goodness I still have a job. Thank goodness for scholarships. Thank goodness for peep-tinis. With this sticker shock/reality check I'll be partaking of some 'tini tonight.
*cough!*
