IV. Post-Listening Exercises [Top]

In your culture, who are mainly responsible for saving money and paying for
college: parents or children? If children pay at least part, what values can they
learn from such an experience? What percent of college students have part-time
jobs? Does the money they earn go to pay for school expenses or other non-
essential items like music, eating out, or trips? What are signs that university
students have developed independence?

V. Online Investigations - [ What's This? ] [Top]

What are all of the costs involved in obtaining a university degree? What are
some ways students can earn money to pay for college tuition? Find a school you
are interested in attending and visit their Web site. Then, research the cost of
attending that institution for an entire year, including tuition, school fees, books,
and housing. Also, consider additional expenses including health care, food, and
incidentals. What additional costs might you incur at the school? Finally, consider
why some programs are more expensive than others. Is a more expensive
program necessarily better than a cheaper one? Why or why not?

Also, remember to take in to account that earning an online degree can cost less
than traditional "brick and mortar" educational institutions. Thus, browsing for
online schools might grant you a cheaper education while maintaining a high level
of quality.\
