Architecture Students in Hell

On Tuition

'I just dropped three large on tuition for the semester. Do you think I'll get that much worth of instruction?' 'Hey, that's hardly fair. Your tuition pays for a lot more than just the cost of instruction.' 'There's the cost of keeping the library collection up to date, the cost of providing climate control in the school, there's deferred maintenance expenses on campus buildings, and most importantly, the cost of providing your studio space.' 'What do you think is the going lease rate for 30 square feet of Class-C floor space in downtown Halifax?' 'Well, if we work backward from your three thousand dollar figure, and subtract the value of all those other things...' 'Wow! I wonder how Steve-O-Reno's Cappuccino can afford that space.' 'By fleecing the nearby architecture students. I hear they're a soft touch.'
