Clemson is around $22K a year for a non-resident. And that's a public university and certainly not anything close to being a top tier school.
And of course, for that kind of $$$, they will let you stay on with poor grades. The Bank of Mom closed, but Clemson was more than happy to let my little sweetheart continue there with less than stellar grades. :angry:
My brother has never paid a dime for college. He got his double major and masters at UGA with grants and scholarships and in fact, when he was getting his doctorate at the University of MN, he received a $14K a year stipend as well as free room and board. He was also receiving tuition and $35K for his post doctorate degree at Duke (until he realized that being 30 years old and still in school was NOT what he wanted out of life, lol! :P ).
My ex-husband went to GA Tech on full academic and athletic scholarships. When he was redshirted his freshman year, they let him keep his scholarship and be a "manager" for the team just so he could stay.
You can ALWAYS go to college for "free" if you work hard enough. Which is why my kid's was $22K a year.....
