Guest bj Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 With only a few days left (let's hope!) and little to distract me (well, not really) I thought I would entertain the notion that maybe I will get in, and maybe I will make a decision, and maybe I will go to U of T. So, theoretically of course, what would this cost me? I heard tuition for professional programs was going up at U of T beyond the sky-high limits of last year. Any truth to it? BJ P.S. If anyone has ANYTHING else to talk about during my million-a-day visits to this site, PLEASE put me out of my misery. I have even relegated myself to checking the forums (fora?) for schools I didn't apply to. Ahh, the sight of pure pathetic. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lactic Folly Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Nothing wrong with that - there are useful tidbits scattered over all the forums. I check nearly all the forums and I haven't applied to any schools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lcloh Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 UWO's tuition is not increasing next year above and beyond the usual cost of living increase that happens every year. The tuition is basically frozen, therefore, at C$14,200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UWOMED2005 Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 I don't know if U of T's med school is going up, but I remember hearing they're med school is making some push to try and become one of the top 5 law schools in the world, and part of that push involves raising tuition, and the figure I remember (I could be WAY off) was $22,000. That might be where you'd heard U of T was upping tuition quite a bit. But I'd be surprised to see the med school climbing over its current Canada-wide high of roughly ?$16,000? Don't forget, though, that tuition is but a small part of the costs. I'm paying roughly $15-20k in non-tuition expenses each year, and I'm living in London where rent is cheap. . . unlike Toronto, :eek though you might/should be able to survive at U of T without wheels.

Guest JSS02 Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 U of T's law school tuition is supposedly going up $2000 a year, until it reaches $22,000 in 2006-7... :eek For accessibility's sake, let's hope the medical school tuition doesn't get up there. It's already high enough as it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lcloh Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 I just realized I should clarify what I mean by a "Cost of Living" increase. This is mandated by the university itself, not the faculty.. and constitutes a 2% increase on what the previous year's tuition was to keep pace with inflation and the increasing costs of a Canadian lifestyle. For UWO, this means that "no increase above and beyond" means only a 2% increase next year. That is, tuition this year was C$14,200 and as a result tuition next year can be estimated to be 2% more, that is, about C$14,484. The fees issue is a contentious one. If the province's view on funding post-secondary education changes within the next year, we might see universities revisiting the issue of tuition increases. For the meantime, however - we are left with the balance between a quality education, and an accessible education - and the formula for that is still in the works. Cheers!

Guest cheech10 Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Last year's tuition was around $16,000, and I think governing council approved a $1000 increase for the coming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
