I know this guy, and it makes me lol. But, I also think he makes an awesome argument for doing it.

Sounds like a gay.


This is not sending a message.
Its not like the person who is going to have to count it, is in any way controlling tuition pricing.

This is just a waste of time.

They literally have money counters or you could just weight it all at once so counting would't be that bad. This kids trying to be a youtube whore.

I think it's a good idea. We will just have to wait to see if he makes a final video after paying.

Man, I as really looking forward to seeing 14,000 ones. It wouldn've sent a much bigger message if it were all in ones. He should've gone to a bigger bank

This. I'm not applying to a school that costs less than 35,000 a year. I would love to be paying 14,000 (or, to be more accurate, my parents would love to be paying 14,000).

Yes, but from what I gather, he's paying 14k out of pocket for the term... so its probably 28k per year.

How much of that 52k do you pay out of pocket? That's the point he's making...

CU is a state school though. Had it been a private school, be really has no argument. Also, you have no room to complain, I'm sure you could have gone to a school with cheaper tuition. Would the education have been as good? Depends.

Motherfuck that guy. Im pissed. Didn't even show him paying it. If you know him please slap that bitch in his face, then take his gucci bag and the north face, off his back. Then tell him he owes me my 2 minutes and 49 seconds back and Im only accepting skin. THEN tell him to finish his fucking video and show him paying his tuition.


Thank you,

MCNEIL.

Everyone knows Boulder is expensive, especially for out of state tuition. This is dumb.

14,000 is not expensive... especially for OUT OF STATE. Try doing this at any private institution if you really want to make a "point".

As someone previously said, this is simply for 1 semester. the full year price would likely be double that. also keep in mind that this is tuition alone

Highly doubt he is. Most private schools dish scholarships up the ass to lower the cost to make it affordable.

unless he's the son of a congressman or a millionaire, he's probably paying closer to the out of state fees for most schools... if not lower.

good heavens, how do you americans pay for skiing with tuition rates that high. i've heard it was expensive, but i didn't realize it was that expensive.

now bodyguard? he looks weaker than the guy with the money.

in terms of a message, this will only work if he gets as much publicity as possible, cause if he's quiet about it, it'll just be like some of you guys mentioned- simply a pain in the ass for the student accounts office to count.

You're right. I just looked it up and total tuition + room and board is like 40,000. In that case, it is closer to the more expensive schools.

And to a few posts up, private schools really don't give that much money, unless you qualify for ridiculous financial aid or are a D1 athlete. Merit scholarships hardly exist at private universities, so you end up paying what you see on the website. And really, if you come from a middle class family, there is a very high chance you won't qualify for financial aid.

i dont think so man,prive schools give alot more money than state schools at least here in ny.  The majority of private schools will give you something, ex my schools about 50,000 a year (my dad works there so i pay much less, 50g's a year is a waste personally) and i know of 2 pepole out of the 4 years ive been here who are paying the sticker price.  Same with the application process 5 years ago, i received money to the majority of the private schools i applied, not much realativly to the state schools

If your family can actually foot that bill, then you are a highly fortunate individual.... and possibly have your retirement already set up...

too bad that bag isn't big enough to carry his sense of self entitlement around. maybe he should have paid for a bigger gucci bag.

dickhead.

so now everyone can know how fucking weird/stupid this kid is.

this stupid fucking kid should've stayed in California if tuition was too expensive. He willingly chose to go to CU out of state, knowing how much it was going to cost. Tuition is not that expensive for Colorado residents. He's probably a worthless film major.

This joan rivers look-a-like can fuck off.
