hey, great input guys.. Actually, I would like to reset the tone of my OP, I'm not complaining about the tuition so much, as the text books. But still, 7 grand??? All points raised are valid. Yes, we do have a student assistance programme, which provides loans for low income kids.

I've been grappling with the differences brought on by my tuition ($770 for first year) and his at almost 10x that.

University education is not free up here, and I don't get the socialist reference. We've never had the NDP in power, and the Conservatives are somewhat to the right of Bush. We just all chip in and pay for medicare.

I've just noticed that the cost of tuition seems to be the highest where we are living (Toronto), and particularly for Ryerson & UofT - as Charlatan pointed out. Wasn't expecting that.
