Google tells me that it's most likely Ohio State University, although it could be Oklahoma State University, too.

Well it could be Ohio State, Oklahoma State, or Oregon State...and I'm probably still missing a few.

I meant Ohio State though, sorry. I'm used to saying OSU because everyone I talk to can easily assume that I mean Ohio State (I live in Cleveland...)

Also, the price thing should have been a clue, out of state schools don't run in the $8,000/yr. range.

Edit: actually, the U could mean Union, not University... more research required!

Could you study at a Union, though?

You could...but you probably wouldn't get a degree. 😛

Well, that only helps if you know quite a bit about typical fees for American universities (to me it just all sounds extremely expensive...). And OklahomaSU is also a state university.

A Psych. degree isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Ouch, people are hating on my degree. 😛

There are a lot of students who study psychology, I don't know why really, but I'm planning on being a doctor...of some kind. 😛 Maybe psychiatry or something? IDK, I really haven't looked into it that much, and it's definitely not too late to change majors.

I refuse to study something like engineering though.

1.There's way too much math involved.

2.There's enough people out there to fill the engineering jobs, plus...I can't do math. 😛

Yeah, but I don't live in Oklahoma, so I'd have to pay out of state tuition, which is usually around $20,000/yr.

Yes, it's all extremely expensive.

Yeah, well I can do it better than 90%. 😉

You have to pay more if you don't come from the same state? That sounds strange - shouldn't you rather have to pay less, as you'll also have to pay for accommodation?

I paid something like $100 per semester. 😛 The university where I studied music therapy was private, so they had higher fees, but a music therapy trust paid the fees for all music therapy students.

No, because you don't pay taxes to a state you don't live in.

What taxes do you pay while you are a student?

Edit: And anyway, if you are studying somewhere, you are usually living there as well, aren't you? So wouldn't you have to pay tax there, too?

Sound thinking CMS....

Oh and the other comments remind me:

An engineering student asks "How does it work?"
a philosophy major asks "Why does it work?"
A liberal arts major asks "Do you want fries with that?"

My parents pay the taxes, I don't know about all of this that well though...so I can't really give you the answers to all of these questions.
