I feel like certain majors say those things to scare people or make them seem more elite somehow. Seriously. In January, I took a full time grad school load. I worked 40 hours a week. I parented two teenagers. Single parented them even. I held a volunteer position with my sorority. Yeah, I only got a 3.94 or something that term but so what? People do as much as they want to do.
In undergrad, my major warned against working and against sororities. I did both. I worked probably 24 hours a week, took classes, did 16 hours a week in fieldwork and was active in my sorority and other organizations too. Oh yes, and a full time boyfriend.
I would imagine that the differences in costs have to do with what they are including on their web site.
And, I have to say, there's no way I'd be able to afford a sorority for Hypo at that school. I'm glad it isn't that expensive around here or where she's going.
