The current 2011/12 rates are FAR HIGHER. $17,000 per semester for out of state students (that's $34,000 per annum, not counting summers), and $5,000 per semester for instate ~ or only $10,000 per annum.

Romney's error was in NOT using current year ~ which makes the subsidy level $24,000 per annum!!!!

Several universities provide an estimated cost for housing, et al, and the amount for out of state students is higher than in state. I think that has to do with relative costs of freshman dormitories versus living in town.

But, back to the Romney number ~ it's EVEN HIGHER THIS YEAR!

The people in your legislature are IDIOTS.

Thanks for the correction, I missed that. So Perry didn't have an answer to that after all. (BTW I think Romney is likely to be worse than Perry, but I am going to be hard on both.)

Yes, I can understand the argument that students who really have a current application for permanent residence are trying to do the right thing, but the actual "requirement" is only that they sign a paper stating that they "will apply" some day. That needs to change.

But it is good that they passed voter ID.
