I believe it was upon their arrive in one of the Chou chapters that the Taoist Gods handed Carson a bag of gold to "cover expenses."

Actually it is gold coins, from an earlier dynasty which ups the value of the individual coins.

Its not like the Chinese didn't have coins. China has been civilised for a very long time.

Absolutely. At least three weeks.

Well, it has been around at least three weeks...right? Are you implying that it is younger than three weeks?

Well, if you add upp all the periods it's been civilised together, then maybe you'd get three weeks.

Bringing back the dead.

So do we finally have a number on the cost of attendance.

So far the cost that I can come up with is:

Cost of Attendance for 2006-2007
Tuition: 67,650
Health Services: 6,500
Student Sevices: 2,700
Room: 5,450
Board: 3,980

Subtotal: 86,280

Estimated Personal Expenses: 4,238
Estimated Travel Expenses: 1,000-3,567

Estimated Cost of Attendance: 94,085

So what do you think?

This doesn't count the lab fee's or the food the heavy hitters eat like Tennyo or Razorback.

Yeah, I was thinking that there might have been some food costs tacked on for mutants with certain classifications, like regen or energizers, etc. It would make sense to add a food cost to every student, but more for the previously stated. As much as it would suck for some students, they DO have to treat Whateley like a business in the end, and businesses need money to cover their costs.

One could argue the various items and patents from the inventors in the labs helps it, but if the Alya stories are true and a lot of gadgeteers are actually unable to push most of their stuff... that can't be a good source of revenue.
