Does it seem right to anyone that it's cheaper to take summer classes at NYU than it is to take them at Rutgers?

I suspect that Rutgers does a pretty brisk business in summer classes for students making up transfer credits and the like. That's probably why it's so expensive. But still! $700???

Summer session at Rutgers is actually offered through the University College, which has a standing rate of $235/credit hour in-state. The reason summer classes are so expensive is that the university college makes no differentiation between fall, spring, and summer semester classes. Essentially you're paying full-rate non-matriculated costs for each credit.

Ahha. Well that's silly.

One of my friends told me it's because Rutgers is better than NYU academically... I find that odd.

To save a couple hundred dollars, I'd rather go to NYU (besides which I would always be on time at NYU). Now I just need to decide which sessions I want to take, and whether I want to take accelerated 1 & 2 or just part 1 for Italian.
