Total value $30 000CAD
Total actually paid: $10 000CAD

Left school owing $5000 and paid that off in 2010. Graduated 2009.

I paid nothing for my public school degree as my parents paid for it, but I estimate that I cost them about $25K per year all in as I didn't work except for very part time jobs and that was all extra spending $ for me.

Me:
$o for bachelors -full academic scholarship and parents paid living expenses. State school, in-state. $30k without a scholarship.
$8K for evening masters - employer paid most of it and I paid about $1k a quarter out of pocket. $55k without employer help.

DH:
$o for bachelors - full academic scholarship and grandparents paid for living expenses.
$15k loan for evening masters which we paid off our first year of marriage with some help from his parents, thankfully. Sticker price was $30k and his grandparents paid for half of it.

@Applesandbananas: Oh goodness, I'm honestly not sure of the hard numbers. What I do know is that my husband and I have over $100K in college debt for my undergrad, his undergrad, and his grad school. No bueno ...

I believe our undergrad was $15k per year, at a state school. His grad school was $8k a year, because he was an assistant in his department (he got a little stipend).

My private university was about $35k/year. I had about $25k/year covered by scholarships and grants. My parents contributed a little and I ended up with about $20k in loans. I had paid internships and summer jobs the entire time except my study abroad year. I graduated in 2003. The last time I checked, tuition plus room and board was over $65k/year for undergrad. My kids will not be going to my alma matter.

Me:
Undergrad: ~40k, instate public school plus expenses. Paid by parents and some small scholarships.
Law school: ~120k paid for by law school. I just bought books.
Masters of law: less than 20k also paid for by law school.

DH: undergrad: ~25k for instate public school. He worked through school to pay for it.
MBA: 110k paid for by employer

We are insanely grateful to have gotten through schooling with no loans.

$45k total
$10k undergrad, which my parents paid
$35k grad school which I am paying in loans- getting in-state tuition the second year was a much better deal (10k my second year)
