For Universities the bulk of their funding comes from research dollars. This is why it's easier to get into Douglas or Langera than it is to get into UBC.

I opted out of going for a couple years, but the Uni still has my spot on hold. I'm just not sure I can justify that price for the chosen field.

York is/was considered the premiere school for this. Plus I'd have more fun digging shit up in Europe than finding arrow heads over here... lol
Decided to change fields anyway. Currently doing school for mechanical engineering.

I remember during my post-secondary days I saw tuition going from under 2k per sem to over 3k per sem.
