Congrats!

My youngest graduated last spring. Unfortunately she is in grad school now and the tuition is 1.5 or more times what it was in undergrad school!

Yikes!

That is great, more money in your pocket, and another worker to pay taxes.

That is a WIN/WIN in any book.

Tell her Well done! hope she finds a career that is worthy of her hard work.

Yes, they have dorms, sports teams and even in door plumbing.

UTA is not big on sports. The school has a high attendance because it is considered a commuter school centrally located in the DFW area, not because of having a high level football team. It's a good school for the kid who is looking for an education as opposed to an NCAA sports image.

Yikes!
Either super cheap undergrad or way overpriced grad program! I am paying about 1/10 what my undergrad cost (granted it was expensive)
