from $9 to $21
So, now I'm paying $21 per quarter to take classes with 700 other students in my section of Bio 101, instead of the previous $9 for the past 3 years.
Why? you might ask. Because OSU decided to build a new "adventure recreation center", a new aquatic center, and a new rec (read: sports and exercise) center. I would bet that fees will go up as they finish each part.
At Ohio U, the fees were $65/quarter, to pay for the $65 Million rec center they built. Granted, it was sweet... indoor track, climing wall, every indoor sports court (incl. soccer), and a huge free-weight room, a huge room full of every type of machines, etc etc etc. And I used it. It was an easy walk from work or class. Or the dorm. Once I moved off campus, I quit using it, despite the mandatory fee.
Now, I'm paying a mandatory fee as a part time student for a facility I will likely never EVER use. Ah well... the school has gotten pretty good at screwing its students, so ... it's just another corporation.
