I went to CU at Denver and was fortunate enough that my parents were able to pay for my school. I graduated with a Bachelors in Economics and $0 debt. My school was about an average of $3,000 a year. CU Boulder is about $12,000 a year and DU (Denver University) is about $30,000 a year. I'm not at all ashamed to have gone to a school that shared campus with community colleges.
I know that a lot of girls pay a boat load of money to go through Bel Ray Vet tech college (where everyone is dumb and just does coke the whole time) then can't make enough money as a vet tech to even pay for the cost of the school.
