actually this is important to me as well. When I was in first year, tuition was $770. that plus residence fees or rent in later years could be earned by working in the summer.

I no longer think it's true that a student can finance his year by working through the summer. My oldest son is in grade 11, after next year, he has to choose a university. I really want him to experience residence or renting with housemates, rather than commuting from home. But with tuition hovering around $6,000 and up, added to room and board, there is no way that he can earn his year during the summer.

Any break that can be eeked out of any party will be appreciated, and may sway my vote. Unfortunately, bottom line considerations have replaced my idealism.
