Great, more spaces. Wonderful. Except that it's more and more out of reach to the average person, due to increased costs. - Beryllium Aug 19, 11:18 3
- to get this discussion back on track ... let me list my current outrages in BC - Beryllium Aug 19, 11:35
- tuition increases are frozen at inflation. in real terms it costs the same to go to UBC today as it did in the mid-'90s. -- nm - mafic Aug 19, 11:26 1
  - Books and living costs have no such freeze. (Book prices are outrageous - I'm sure you experienced the same thing) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 11:36
