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.

Yep, sounds about right. :/ I went to a private college for two years on a full-tuition scholarship, and my family still had to pay nearly $10,000/year just for room and board. After I lost the scholarship it was either go into debt $50,000 for my two remaining years' tuition, or else transfer to a state school. I come from a cheap, cheap family, so you can probably guess which I chose. *g*

But, yes. It's a *crazy* system, definitely. Makes me wonder what our politicians think would be so bad about bringing in a bit of socialism...
