As for tuition, ours went up AGAIN so next year I think will be $24,000. My (RICH) uncle is on the board and was preaching about how good the raise will be for the school and bla bla bla and my dad got pissed and later on wrote him a long formal letter on how stupid it is that all the rich fat old board members can glorify ANOTHER raise in tuition while the students fall farther and farther into debt and the parents (like mine) feel helpless and worthless b/c they can't afford to help either.
As for the movie thing, I wrote a scathing e-mail to the student activities director b/c one afternoon, I was up in the SAS dept office and the ladies there were all complaining b/c the students get charged these "activity fees" to see "free" movies, but this year one of the freshmen is deaf and they NEVER CC the movies. But they still charge her the fee. So I wrote the director and told him I REFUSED to pay a fee for an activity that not EVERY SINGLE STUDENT it able to participate in (not to mention, isn't CC a law or something?).
And as for cable, we don't pay a seperate cable fee (we do have two internet payments though) but our cable sucks and we only get stuff like Discovery, TLC, CNN, ESPN, TNT, USA, and VH1. Pretty much everything else besides that and the local channels are censored out.
