Fall of 1977 I entered the University of Houston as a Freshman. Total cost for 15 semester credit hours, a yearbook, a parking pass (yeah I had a car) and a ticketbook to all home football games and my drive out price was.....
$235.00
Till I graduated the highest semester cost I ever paid was $275. Had a $5,000 scholarship that paid $625 cash every fall and spring. Not only did I have a car but by the time I graduated (working the whole time I was in school) I had a fishing boat and $5,000 cash in savings.
