I noticed the online course registration system for my alma mater revealing refers to your “shopping cart,” when you add courses to your schedule. That wasn’t the case earlier in the decade, when they had a different online system.
The new lingo is closer to the truth. Since I first started there, until now, the individual course fee has increased by 54% for regulated programs, and a whopping 170% for deregulated programs, whereas core inflation over the same period was 27%. Indeed, you should shop around, to get the best value for your education dollar — especially these days, with those prices.
