^Taking one more class doesn't help them make any more money :? Tuition is set at you pay this much for ______ hours. (At the majority of colleges, just not at some private colleges.) At my college you can take more than twice the regular number of hours for regular tuition. You only pay for an extra class if you're a part time student. It's much cheaper to be full time, which is what they encourage. I'm going to school for 100% free right now and I can take way more classes than I could handle. Plus, the pre-reqs you take before vet school don't make the vet school any more money.

Yes, it does help the school make more money. For almost all majors, if all Gen Ed/Elective requirements were taken out, they'd be able to be completed in a year or two. They throw on that extra 2-3 years of fluff, so that they can make thousands of more dollars off of you.


But that's two or three more years. I was talking about specifically taking one more class. Even if they were making money off that one class, I don't see the problem since the students want to be there. When I go to a 4 year school next year I'll take classes that aren't a major requirement, but I want to be at that school and everything I take will be my choice.
