Why does it cost so much to go to an American university? Don't the major universities make hundreds of million of dollars with their football and basketball programs? Where does that money go? In Canada a university education cost about a third of American. Our sports programs don't make shit. One of you Einsteins speak on this. Serious question.
Boston College and/or Boston University is about $50,000 to $55,000 for the year (including dorm). And that's just for a Bachelors degree.
$23,00 per semester, 2 semesters is $46,000. Take into account dorming, food, etc, you may even be looking at closely to $60,000 for the year. Crazy.

The presidents of major universities make crazy money:
Among private colleges surveyed in Massachusetts, many presidents received far more than the national average of $400,000 a year. Leaders who topped the $1 million threshold included Susan Hockfield, who formerly led the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Joseph Aoun at Northeastern University, and Robert Brown at Boston University.
The survey included base salary, bonus pay, and other benefits in its calculations, including payments for housing, travel, moving expenses, and spending accounts. In response to complaints from colleges, the publication did not include compensation set aside for future years, such as retirement pay, as it had in previous annual surveys.
