“As expected UD has increased tuition and fees beginning this Fall semester.
For OOS students tuition is up 7% ($1,700) for a total of $25,940. The total for tuition and fees for the semester will be $27,462. Figure on similar increases on a yearly basis in the future. Delaware is not the relative bargain it was in the past. See UD’s website for more details.” </p>
<p>As the parent of an incoming freshman with three more annual increases to go, I’m wondering what the total bill will be. When we first looked at UD two years ago, it looked like OOS tuition was about $23K. Now it is as expensive as Penn State. U of MD is a better deal. I don’t think that 7% (or greater) annual increases in our depressed economy should be accepted as the norm. Penn State only increased OOS tuition by 3.5% (per Philadelphia Inquirer article). U of Maryland College Park increased OOS tuition by 5% (campus paper article).</p>
