It costs $46,350 per year for an undergrad at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Nine months’ tuition for 2006–2007 is $33,400; a Student Activity Fee of $200 increases the total to $33,600. In addition, undergraduate room and board is approximately $9,950, with actual costs dependent on the student’s housing and dining arrangements. Books and personal expenses (including clothes, laundry, and recreation, but excluding travel) are about $2,800

For those, like myself, that have been out of the college scene for a few years and look back fondly on the collegiate atmosphere for more than just the libations. I wanted to turn you on to MIT OpenCourseWare.

I am trying to go through some of the copious materials on the site to see how my education, compares to what they have to offer. In particular I am focusing on the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences courses as that is where my interests lie.

I wonder what would happen if instead of football games I devoted 3 hours every Sunday to this. But then again I am notorious for feeling guilty about my periods of unproductivity.
