US Education is a Giant Rip-Off
So I looked over my tuition bill today and this is what I have found: A giant rip-off! First of all, look at all the repetitive charges of "academic excellence fees." These alone add up to well over $300. Next, notice all the fees that have to do with actually BEING PHYSICALLY PRESENT AT OU! When am I going to enjoy the library, the wellness programs, special events, or use the bus in Norman? NEVER, that's when. I can't believe that charge students who are studying abroad all this shit that we won't derive any benefit from. What a complete rip-off and a crock of bull.
