Need help from university students
 

Hi! i am a student from Portugal and i have a group work to do in which we need to know how it cost a person to study in FEUP (my university). We had the idea of comparing our results to other countries. But to do that we need your help. I need you to do something like this.

Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (Oporto, Portugal)
1. Food 1.90€ (how it costs a meal at your university)
2. Annual fees 900€ (how much do you pay to study at your university)
3.Bus ticket 20€ (how much do you pay to travel by bus monthly)
4. Other costs ?€ (essencialy the material you have to buy)

Thank you very much for your help.

You don't need other peoples help. What you need to do is your own work. It is called research.

How can you ever learn anything if you let others do your work?

Is this the only reason you signed on to the winamp forums? How many other forums did you sign up for to post this same question?

You're not forced to help me with this information.
I think it's quite easy for an user to answer 4 simple question. This is just a way of gathering some information, about a specific part of my work.No one is making my work.I have already joined lots of information about this, but i think this is a good way to get information of students from diferent countries.

1) Depends on where you eat. If you eat at the University cafes, then you are looking at £3 for a decent meal and a drink.

If you go to one of the local fast food places (not McDonalds or the like, but one of the family owned ones), then you pay around £2.50 for a meal and a drink.

Household name food outlets are around £3.50

2) Fees are around £1170 per academic year, though this is subject to change from next year.

3) Bus tickets are about £65 for a years worth of travel, though I personally walk or cycle.

4) I would say about £500 a year on books and stationary.

you joined a music player forum to ask this? :p you better not deny it.

1)food - subjective like biblo said. good meal starts at $6
2)tuition - $34,000/year (winter,summer,fall semesters)
3)car - america has shitty mass transport. I use about $30 for gas every 1.5 weeks. and $1200 for insurance.
4)housing - apartment $400/mo
5)books - this past year i spent $850 on books


Im not even sure how much debt i have collected up to this point... :cry: If my tuition seems like alot...it is... im in medical school.

He said he was doing research on costs in other countries for comparison.

He's asking students in other countries what the costs are, for comparison.

As different this is from buying thousands and thousands of pounds worth of plane tickets and flying to universities in many different countries, to find these prices out, I'd say that this probably still counts as research. He's not asking for the answers, he's surveying for data.

Answers for me:

Country: UK (Scotland specifically, which makes a difference for q2 in particular).

1. Food: £3-5 for a meal.
2. Annual fees: £1170, with option for state to pay it and you to pay back a lower amount in instalments after graduation.
3. Bus ticket: £40-50-ish I think.
4. Other costs: I spent about £200 on textbooks last year, I suppose that most other stuff was optional. Being a computing student helps since you can get a lot of materials digitally though. Housing is about £280-300pcm, for a room in a shared flat, far more if you want to live alone.

University Of South Carolina (US)

1. Food $5.00-$7.00 (year meal plan: ~$2,300)

2. Annual fees ~$6,000.00

3. Housing: ~$3,000 per year (dorms)

4. Books: ~$1,000 per year

How 'bout this... Join IIT(in India).. which is one of the most reputed universities in the world and is said to be equivalent to MIT(Massuchutes Institute of technology)(I got my spelling wrong)... The cost: Including Food, Staying, Books and Study

Just $400 per year....

But there's a downside to it. You need to pass their screening exam. Every year about 10,00,000 people appear out of which only the top 1600 students are selected...

Food - $5.25 per meal
Tuition - $21,600
Housing - $5,300
Travel - $100-$300 per flight, 4 trips a year.
Supplies - $1,000

My family is poor now. :'(

Technical University of Delft (Netherlands)

1. Depends on what you eat and where, but i'd guess from about €3.00

2. Annually it's around €1680

3. Housing is around €250 per month, but im lucky :)

4. Travel, public mass transport is free by government

5. Books and other stuff, €600 last year, so far im looking at €500 this year..
