A full-time course load in the Faculty of Arts is 4-5 courses (12-15 credits) per term; a full year is normally 30 credits. This credit total includes courses taken at McGill and, if applicable, concurrent courses taken through the Québec Inter-University Transfer

So if you are American, you pay < $9k tuition to attend McGill Univ (a school with a prestigious name) in Montreal..if you live in MA and go to UMass Amherst, you pay nearly $17k

I don't know about Igloi, but I did when I graduated. I lived at my parents for six months and saved every check. I paid off my loans and bought an underpowered $1,800 used car (I never had a car until I was 23). I moved into a cheap apartment with a roomate in a sketchy neighborhood and continued to save until I could afford a down payment on a starter home in a part of town I liked. During those years I didn't own a TV (thus no cable bill or streaming bill), I wasn't a coffee drinker, my time was mostly spent working out, running, biking and fly fishing (which are all cheap hobbies). Saving, investing and living humbly are a timeless and proven financial plan. Sorry you lack the discipline to pay your own bills.

False! A student from the US could pay as much as $79K CDN in tuition for the upcoming school year.

I have no debt. The same cannot be said for our retired financial advisor friend. Thus the hypocrisy.

I don't know what McGill you are posting here but I posted the actual data from the actual McGill Univ in Montreal.

No school charges $79k in tuition

Solid day.

I went to junco two years stayed at home. I earned a full athletic scholarship at a DI school. Rode a bicycle until the fall break of my senior year where my parents made the down payment and payments for about 9 months before I got my first job. My children both went to s as local state school, one on a full academic and the other partial. They both earned full graduate school scholarships at tier one out of state institutions. There was some significant student loans (law school mostly) that were paid off before me or they made major purchases.

Also, wife and I paid my way thru private graduate school. Later we paid her way to finish her undergraduate degree. Much of this time we lived a bit above poverty line.

Paying for a college education back in our day was much easier than today.

Keep that in mind when you are prone to compare the two. Ignoring this fact does a disservice towards those that would pursue higher education today.

From the Marketwatch article linked below:

"A combination of work, family support, and minimal debt once made a college degree obtainable. Now, this affordable college education is increasingly out of reach."

Paying for your college, 30 years ago vs. today

Tuition rises faster than minimum wage, early-career salaries

False! Check the link I provided. The proof is there.

That is undoubtedly true, but the student loan system has contributed to the rise in the cost of an education. Student loans contribute to institutional expansion where the subset of what is consider an education is now apartments, climbing walls, athletic teams, spa like gymnasiums, etc. It is the parent and student’s blunder if one signed up for an education at a private college where the cost can likely can never be repaid. Education is not a right, and many never even earn a degree, or use the one they have. For most doing two years at a community college, then a state college is a wiser, thou somewhat less prestigious (fancy) choice. It is the individual achievement, not the diploma.

Actually, I have done a significant amount of research into college educations being offered now, there relative costs, benefits, admission processes and long term benefits thereof.

The relative importance of each of these criteria will invariably differ for each individual and family. Some of us seem to be able to grasp this concept and accept it.

Others would prefer blanket judgements and statements, and impose them on everyone.

But that seems frankly to be symptomatic of so much in today's society, and I find that very unfortunate.

Maybe we could all benefit from trying to be a bit more understanding and accepting.

In pre opening trading, twitter was at 6:00 AM.

Now down over 5% in less than 2 hours.

Why?

Read your own link.

Nearly all majors under $30k for foreign students. Far less for Canadians and even less for Quebecois.

This is far less than 1/2 of what it costs to go to a private school in America for an American student.

You are quoting the DMD tuition ($79k).

Then note that the Canadian $$ is only 77% of the American dollar.
