Here are the official numbers for an education at the University of Maine for the year 2009-2010.
- Undergraduate In-State Tuition: $253 per credit hour
- Unified Fee: $851 (for a regular load of 12-15 credits)
- Recreation Fee: $107 (for 6+ credits)
- Undergraduate Student Activity Fee: $45
- Undergraduate Communications Fee: $15
- Double Room: $2,090
- Board: $2,084
Take those number and apply them to an in-state regular load of 15 undergraduate credits, that equals $8,987 per semester. That is a grand total of $71,896 for a four year stay (if the number didn’t increase every year).
We need to do better or someone is going to do better for us.
