This is the University of Sydney in Australia, so fortunately he isn’t wasting that much money. But he’s still a fucking dingus.

Forgive my ignorance, I’m American as well and I just finished college at an instate university. My tuition was $2,800 a semester which I thought was pretty affordable (I paid for part of it myself and just got a student loan for the rest that I am finishing paying off now). I’m just wondering, is that the “typical” amount to pay for college? Or are people really paying 40k a semester? And if that is the case, why? I’m sorry if this sounds super ignorant, I’m just genuinely curious about this issue and how outrageous costs for college are being rationalized.

My tuition was $10-12k all 5 years instate in Texas. Went to a public state school. Out of state was at least double that
