[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friend of mine has a son at the University of Reading. I looked up the cost out of curiosity

[quote]For 2022/23, standard fees for international students are:

£19,500 a year for non-laboratory courses and International Foundation Programmes
£23,700 a year for subjects with significant laboratory study or workshop content.

Living costs are an important part of budgeting for your degree; accommodation costs around £137.55–£193.06 per week for a standard to premium en-suite single room in University self-catered accommodation, inclusive of bills. This amounts to around £5,502–£7,722.40 a year for the 2022/23 academic year

£50 a week for food (so £2000 for 40 weeks)[/quote]

Call that roughly £27,000 to £33,400 which converts to about $32,000 to $40,000.

Not horrible by US standards, but not cheap either.

University of Reading is a total dud school. There are some of those in Europe too. Pointless trying to get a degree from a dud school because it will lead to the same barista jobs as a dud school in the USA will.[/quote]

What my friend told me is her son will get a BS in computer science in [i]three years[/i] (knocks a lot off the total price) and is taking only science and math courses so I highly doubt he will end up as a barista.

Yes, that's probably true. But would you want your kid getting their qualifications from Montgomery college and then trying to get a job? That is the equivalent. Just because you've never heard of The University of Reading doesn't mean the rest of the world hasn't.[/quote]
