FYI for ECU

I might be missing it, but I don't see where the link discusses ECU's name.

Not since 1965

Tuition-free. Other costs, such as room and board, fees, etc., remained, well, costs. I entered in 1963 and was grandfathered in when they started charging tuition, which incidentally, was a quite substantial for that time $600/semester. I hear it is up a little now.

My tuition was $29,960 when I started and $34,900 by the time I finished. Thankfully, I didn't pay even close to all of it.

UTSA is the youngest University in CUSA. UAB is also 1969, but they have a history before 1969.

Oh, O.K. That's not what this thread is about, but alright.

Wow. Mine was 5K a year when I matriculated in '89. Less than UT out of state tuition.

Hopefully the alleged increase in financial aid to offset tuition increases has proved to be true.
