Well, if you were at uni for 10 years non-stop (say you are doing a Arts/Law/Med/Science quadruple degree), then the total union fees you would have to pay would add up to about $5000, probably less.Originally posted by Jin-17
Dont forget the union fees as well, which I think is about $5000. I may be wrong about this, but even so, it contributes to the overall cost beacuse of the large amount being spend on.

Actually, the biggest costs that people don't take into account are textbooks, uni fees and transport. They cost me about $500, $400 and $750 each respectively. And that's a conservative estimate. Plus I saved where I could (bought books second hand or not at all, walked 15 mins to another bus route to save 30c each way to the station and back, etc). I also don't buy food at uni, and that can cost you about $600 per year if you spend $5/day 4 days a week.
Those four things alone are $2,000 per year, plus all the money that you could be making if you had put the time that you spend studying into work. Keep that in mind when you think about how much your degree will add to your salary.
Yes and no. It is $3000-$6000, but that is per year. Do a BA in 3 years and you'll come out with less than $10,000 of HECS debt. Do 6 years of Med and you'll be out the other side with $25,000 of HECS debt. Plus it is indexed so it increses by about 2-3% each year (think of it as a really low interest rate).Originally posted by Ultimate
Don't Hecs fees only cost between $4000-$6000 depending on the course that you are doing? Besides even if your parents didn't pay for your fees you could still work during the huge 3 month uni breaks and earn some cash.

Pretty much. It depends on the number of years it takes you. I have a frined doing a BCom (Actuarial Studies) with a BSc (Maths) which is just one extra yearontop of a 3 year BCom. I also know another friends doing Arts/Med, which is 1 extra year on her Med degree. Other double degrees can add another 2 years.
It also depends which band it falls into (ie. doing law will cost more than arts). But as a general rule, a bit less than double because it is usually less than double the length.
