19. Four to five times? Where?

Tue Oct 2, 2012, 06:28 PM

Oct 2012

Both schools I've attended up here, and any number of others I've worked at or near, have had a very consistent 100% markup for international students, but nothing past that. Maybe some of the screwier private schools which have the same problems American ones do, but a 4-5x markup for international students just isn't something that happens around here in my own experience.

I also don't pay near 35% in taxes.
