In this section we will start to take a look at the costs of local colleges, and a few that are a distance away.   Schools that are run by the state such as the University of Memphis and Southwest Community College are typically priced much differently than private schools like Rhodes College and Vanderbilt.

Choose a college from the list below (first come, first serve) and find the website for the college.  Once you are there, look for a search bar and enter the term:  tuition.  Specifically, you are looking for the undergraduate tuition rate of 15 credits per semester.  You will also be searching for room and board (food) cost per semester.

Once you have found the information please prepare a Discussion Response that answers the following questions:

1.)  Identifies the name of the school.

2.)  Identifies the city and state the school is in.

3.)  What is the per semester cost for 15 credits?

4.)  What is the price per class?  (Since you will typically be earning 3 credits per class you will need to divide your response to question 1 by 5)

5.)  Enter the cost for room and board.  If the school does not offer a housing option enter N/A

6.)  Using the decision making process, think about the location of the school only.  Is this a school you would consider?  Why or why not?
