I'm looking around Stanford's website for a Connor fic. Clicky clicky onto the law school and I read:

Local transportation, clothing, recreation, and the like are more variable items, but most single students will find that they need to budget a total of at least $50,000 for the school year. For a married student, the minimum budget will be about $60,000. Tuition is due at registration in September and January.

...holy *shit*. $50,000? That's £27,000! Or, to put it another way, more than ten times what the last university year cost me, including 12 months rent.

The £16,000 ($30,000) student loan debt I'll have when I graduate suddenly doesn't seem quite so bad.

ETA: Also, the jvtl_project (Jossverse timeline project) makes my canon-geek heart go squee.

And in my head Stanford!Connor is studying anthropological science.

The maximum tuition a student in the UK pays is currently £1100/$2000. What each student actually pays is means-tested according to their parents' income - last year I paid something like £300/$550. There are huge protests here over fees because it's only recently that people have been charged anything at all to go to university - my cousins all got their degrees in the fabled golden age of your when students got maintenance grants.

I'm boggled at these skeery prices.
