Tuition Raised?

[alQurayshee]

Word ont he streets - Windsor tuition is supposedly going up for new students starting sep 08 to 7500/semester

any new students hear this?

my friend told me he talked to the amin staff - Mr R and thats what he told him supposedly

[md_neel]

A steep incline in tuition will probably kill business for Windsor. With the current loan market fiasco why would anybody come to Windsor? There are many a lot more established schools that charge just about $7k-$9K / semester. Windsor is still a bargain for many self-paying, or low budget students, and w/o some marked improvements I think they should keep the tuition where it is now.

[Staedtler]

that puts Windsor's tuition at almost same fig. as Saba's. I also initially liked the flat tuition, ie, no increase for the whole duration of the program. I hope tuition stays that way at $4999/sem or $50k+ for 10 semesters for the time being, til they get NY. wa ha ha

it's extremely hard to get financial aid these days, to increase your borrowing amount, banks are asking for co-signer.

hope the tuition hike won't happen this year, bad timing I must say when the economy is in bad shape and there's credit crunch happening all over the place.

what do others think?

Bro I am going through the same time and phase like you .. .I am from Canada Ontario too and all the banks are treating us like a pricks ...... and I choose this uni because of the price too ... I was accepted in Duke, Ross, Saba and Windsor off course and I just don't have enough funding to go to an expensive and famous school .... so I totally understand your feeling ...

[MDIN2009]

Almost the same as SABA's yea right....here is how much from their web site...

FIRST SEMESTER Tuition $7,950 Laboratory Fees $200 Histology Lab Fee $150 Shelf Board Testing Fee $30 Insurance Fee $30 Student Activity Fee $50 TOTAL $8,410
Than you have to add housing....

DORM FEES (Effective January 1, 2008) The following dormitory fees are based on double occupancy per semester. The dorm manager collects dorm fees on Saba. Rent includes: utilities and maid service, air-conditioning, refrigerator and microwave. Matthew Dorm Double $1,800.00 Matthew Dorm Single $3,250.00 Hillside Dorm Single $2,200.00 Matthew Dorm Security Deposit $100.00 Hillside Dorm Security Deposit $150.00

Then Clinicals

CLINICAL MEDICINE TUITION (Effective January 1, 2008) SIXTH SEMESTER Clinical Medicine Fee $8,950 SEVENTH SEMESTER Clinical Medicine Fee $8,950 EIGHTH SEMESTER Clinical Medicine Fee $8,950 NINTH SEMESTER Clinical Medicine Fee $8,950 TENTH SEMESTER Clinical Medicine Fee $8,950 CLINICAL MEDICINE FEES Liability Insurance $240 per semester Graduation Fee $37

Saba's rates are low because it's not much of an island...no running water. All the water has to be brought in...plus you take showers with rain water...

[md_neel]

hmmmmmmmm very interesting info about the shower process ....

[Staedtler]

i said it's the tuition that is almost same after the hike, but yeah overall, may still cost less at windsor.

[MDIN2009]

And again this is hear say...every semester the rumor is that tuition is going up...or how big the incoming class is ect....

[Staedtler]

lol @bro

you applied to duke? i was going to apply to ireland, but really it'll cost $40k/year tuition alone, some friends of mine did go though, but it's a lot of psychological stress, over $250k debt awaits. if you're going to primary care, it can be done for less than that. just IMO

With all due respect, SABA is not exactly Windsor. They've been graduating ppl since 1993, Cali and NY approved, tousands of fully licensed physicians in practice, established clinical rotations and name reconition with many PDs. For comparison, I was accepted to SABA's Fall of 2004 class (I didn' go there I went to ROSS in May 2004), and their tuition then was $5900 plus other fees. But let's not compare SABA and Windsor. They are just not in the same categogy.

[Staedtler]

yes and no. yes, because it's been a long while that windsor hasn't had any tuition hike. and with the inflation and all, and possibly because they also want to improve facilities, etc., they will ultimately would like to do the hike, so hearsay or not, it is actually conceivable that they might do that, it's just a matter of "when", not "if", they WILL actually do that, we just don't know when. it won't stay at the present rate forever.

no, because although it will happen in the future, it might not be this year, and hope it won't be. :-)


And again this is hear say...every semester the rumor is that tuition is going up...or how big the incoming class is ect....

[MDIN2009]

Dude...context...was fees! Nothing more...please read.

[kryptik]

too many rumors flying around vmd lately

[jabee_usm]

:flamewar:

[windsorMD]

lol we should complain to Windsor's student body government about this potential tuition hike...

oh wait....

[MDIN2009]

No its not that...i just have a hard time when posters a discussions about just comparing tuition to something else...when it clearly was a discussion about tuition. Not how many cookies you have or how many medals are on your chest.


:flamewar:

[kryptik]

oh wait....
you realize this is a rumor right... you cant complain about a non existent issue.:p but yeh they do need an sga.

[md_neel]

lol ......

[windsorMD]

what more than AMSA and some religious groups are needed ?

we always have those 3-4 students who organize the farewell and welcome parties. that's all that everyone cares about. if you have an issue with the school i doubt anyone would go to a President or VP Internal about it........if you cannot deal with issues with coursework, faculty, admin, etc, then I highly doubt anyone else like a President can be of any help to you. Its better to express your concerns to the school yourself, it really helps build character, especially for our little 18 year olds who are fresh out of high school looking to be the next 22 year old physician.

[billydoc]

Dude...context...was fees! Nothing more...please read. What gets me is that guys from other schools always come to our forum to make themselves look better....but yet can't spell.


Dude, what other schools you are talking about? I told you about my exp with SABA in 2004! That's not a good enoughof a "context" for you. My point was even in 2004 SABA was around for much longer than Windsor now. As for spelling....Yeah, I type on rather old laptop that survived a hellhole of Dominica. So some keys just don't type if I don't hit it several times. And English is not my first language. So what? I'm not a student of neither SABA, ROSS, nor Windsor, but I didn't think this forum was your private entity. And no, I'm not making myself "look better", but since you're such a good speller, and an expert on grammar.... why are you not in U.S medical school?

[md_neel]

It is their duty to listen and deal with your issue and that is why students elects them and if the school is not listening to them than they should have a very good reason for it... the request cannot be like "We need 5 start food for free" this will affect the tuition cost so lets say if this kind of request is on the table than the school will give reason for how and when it can be done and how it will affect the cost and than will be the discussion point to either go with the change or no... this is the benefit ..... if you will go alone for an issue which is already affecting many students and they just dont bother to come and address it than there is no way the school will even listen to your request .... and if they do than we really don't need any Association .....

I keep repeating man ... these are GROUPS for the SPECIFIC people for example ALL MUSLIM STUDENT ASSOCIATION .... the Student Body is lets say a UNION of a work place ..... its nothing like they will organize any events or any funky stuff.... they are the lesion between School and Students .... and taking charge by yourself is something which helps building character but don't forget you didn't just started walking ... in the starting you also needed help in just standing up .... that is why it is easy to understand that learn how to walk first before you run....

[MDIN2009]

Context of the discussion was tuition...that is all. Now if that is hard for you to understand than good luck buddy. Also in the topic at hand no one was talking about how long the school was around. You brought that up...not me. Thanks for the personal info...I will reference that every time you post. I could not get into U.S. medical school...but again that is another topic you have brought up.

Well, I wonder if it ever occured to you that tuition most definitely should reflect "how many cookies you have or how many medals are on your chest". There is a reason why ppl choose low-budget schools especially in very uncertain economic times. They give up a lot of what could affect their future for life for the short-term benefit of a lower tuition. Again, with our current loan mess, and inability to secure adequate funding for the medical education Windsor will stop being atractive to many folks who chose them for one thing, and one thing only.....cheap tuition. I'm neither against nor for it, just stating the fact.

[MDIN2009]

Thanks for your commentary...what is your favorite cookie?

I think being the Moderator of this forum had gotten to you pal. You are obviously confusing me with somebody who cares about your arrogant assumptions about me.One of which I suppose that my native language is Spanish (?) :rolleyes: Dude, I've been around for a while, and have achieved enough things in my life to be proud of. For example I hold two professional licenses in the health care field for nearly two decades.I'm not trying to hot shot you, I really, really don't care for your mini lectures. Save it for your girlfriend or whatever. It was you who brought up "guys from other schools", and "can't spell". If you don't think it's a personal insult then good luck to you buddy. I sure do.

Sorry, english is not my first lnguage..but i learned how to read and write..so now I don't make excuseses. If I mess up I will admit it...

it must be nice having the best cookies though

you were talkin about doing rotations in chicago, well, seems as if rotations in chicago have a waiting period now.....i dont know if i want to give up matching for 2010, nashville seems like the better option right now......

[MDIN2009]

Do your due diligence...and you will be ok. I wish I could help you but I have not done rotations there and have no experience in the matter.

Well, you can guess all you want. But I have actually done it. Get back to me when you get there. Right now it's a pure speculation, and an insult I might add. You probably think that I'd care about this pi*$*$*ing contest on anonymous internet forum :rolleyes:

So that's all you've got? Such "clever" come back? Just paraphrazing my post? I don't care enough for your accusations for me to make "excuses". Instead of discussing the issues at hand you went on a personal attack. But you won't be the first one nor the last who does that when they lack substance. You really don't care about "what" is written, but rather "how". Look at your posts first beforeyou correct mine. You, my little friend, are hardly being on par with Cicero in your "eloquence". And again, you obviously were never taught to break down the word "assume". It's never to late, buddy. I suggest you do it quietly in private. I am not a student at any Carib school right now. But what I have said about SABA etc came from my own experience, and has nothing to do with glorifying their "cookies". My point was that tuition should reflect current stutus of the school. Tuition increases are not unheard of, but what do the students get in return? I looked at Windsor as an option as well. I still think it's pretty good value for the $$$$. However, if cost jumps by 50%, and loans are in place, it will no longer be attractive to many for what they get in return. And if you were capable of critical thinking, or even of some basic application of logic you would see my point. Anyway I've tried. Instead you went on your useless rant and lecturing.

Have a nice day :rolleyes:

[md_neel]

I got your point and you are right about the fact .....

[n4ninad]

Guy's Y do all of you are pulling this topic & making it more and more hot adding spices.. Calm down. Don't worry about hike and the situation of the other med.schools. Lets solve what's truth in this fact for our WUSM. Tomorrow WUSM people are going to arrange seminar here in Ontario,Canada. I'm going to attend this seminar tomorrow and will meet with all the officials and will ask them if the increase in the fees for the sept.starters is a rumour or it is the fact.!! Well I'll get it conformed by tomorrow and will post their answer.

n4ninad, this will be by far the most productive thing to confirm a fact or to deny a rumor.

[Baadshah]

I was at the meeting yesterday in NY and the President himself said the tution for Pre-med is $3999 and for MD is $4999. Never mentioned the increase of those prices.

[md_neel]

ya .... I will be there too and it will be conformed plus many other issues .....

[Baadshah]

The way the President was speaking, I felt much confidence about the school and my future. He didn't hide anything.

[md_neel]

oh you went in the one which was in the NY ? .... how was it and do you think we can get any loans info in these open houses ?

[Baadshah]

oh you went in the one which was in the NY ? .... how was it and do you think we can get any loans info in these open houses ?

I went to Jackson Heights last night from 6pm to 10pm. First the President was talking and giving out the information about Windsor. Then there were questions being asked. After that the people who want to ask private questions, they were been answered as well. I felt confidence. About the loans, I didn't asked but the President did mentioned it and you shouldn't have problem applying for it.

There are more open house they are coming to. Today, tomorrow and Sunday in which I encourage you to attend and please be free to ask any questions that you might have.

[md_neel]

I am attending the open house which is tomorrow in Mississauga from 10am to 9pm ..... thanks a lot for the info ....

[n4ninad]

ok guys. I'll again make it confirm about the tution fees tomorrow in the seminar and will make you all updated with the current situation for fees,loans and other questions. And if any student who is not able to attend the seminar can post questions here that are born in their mind. The question's if posted here by tomorrow early morning I'll ask those on their behalf and can post the answers here. Well I know there would be many newbies who would not be able to attend it so guy jst post questions if you can't attend. atleast who will be attending can solve out these questions.

[kryptik]

anyone planning on going to the open house should include these in their questions
1. How long is the current tuition going to stand for
2. Why dont the school have an SGA
3. When do they intend to update their website?
4. Also point it out to them that increasing tuition during this time of economic hardships and no loans will be detrimental to both the school and students.

[Baadshah]

I was at the meeting yesterday in NY and the President himself said the tution for Pre-med is $3999 and for MD is $4999. Never mentioned the increase of those prices. You can always ask again to make sure it's accurate. When I got my acceptance letter, it stated clearly that I have to pay $500 for my seat, and $4999 for tution. The seat deposit will adjust the tution fee.

[kryptik]

they will always say the tuition as of today is 4999 thats why you have to ask them how long its going to stay that way so you can force them to give a time frame.

Saba's rates are low because it's not much of an island...no running water. All the water has to be brought in...plus you take showers with rain water...

With all due respect, SABA is not exactly Windsor. They've been graduating ppl since 1993, Cali and NY approved, tousands of fully licensed physicians in practice, established clinical rotations and name reconition with many PDs. For comparison, I was accepted to SABA's Fall of 2004 class (I didn' go there I went to ROSS in May 2004), and their tuition then was $5900 plus other fees. But let's not compare SABA and Windsor. They are just not in the same categogy.

Your post makes no sense...I was replying to the poster who stated that SABA and the rumored Windsor tuition was the same. I was correcting that...that is the context of my post. Even after going to Ross you lack the tact to back out of a situation in winch you are wrong. Anyone with basic high school skills or even some ESL classes can see you went on a tangent.

You know....it could be funny if it wasn't so pathetic and sad. I bet you that most ppl who read my posts understood my point. Here it is again for specially gifted folks like yourself. If Windsor raised tuition now (as was alleged in this topic) it will be detrimental to their business. Why? B/c it's relatevely new school w/ pretty good potential, but w/o proven track record, many graduates, established contacts etc. Of course, you're going to say that I'm bringing up "cookies". Well sing that mantra to yourself. But my point was there are plenty of schools in the category of $7.5k and up with at least NY approval, more graduates etc. One of the biggest selling points for Windsor is low cost. For guys with professional income it's very important b/c I could do it out of pocket and come out of the med school debt free. If tuition is jacked up it becomes less competative. Now which part of this concept do you still not understand? What does it have to do with High School, and ESL? When your arguement can't hold the water you resort to personal attacks. You probably think that with your "green" moderator screen name you look so darn important and impressive that nobody can disagree with you. I've got news for you pal, you don't necessarily talk to some captive audience of sculls full of mush. I respectfully, and tactfully brought up my point. You failed to see it and instead of providing counterarguement went on the personal attack. But I already told you save it for your girlfriends and friends. You lack substance, and are DEAD WRONG. But I suppose it would be asking too much of you to admit it.

That's alright though. Carry on pal, ee if I care :rolleyes: :evil:

I think we all understood what you both were trying to say and where the actual confusion started ... anyways instead of going off track lets just wait for tomorrow and we will know if the fee is going up or no as they will be in Mississauga and including others I will be there too ... so my suggestion to both of you that save your breath and once we know if it is going up than it will be a very good idea to bring the comparison topic out for discussion .... we all are here to get information and share ideas not for trying to prove our point or try to talk down any one .... so lets act mature and forget the previous off topic things as the confusion or misunderstood sentence .....

[Baadshah]

The tution is not raising at all people. Not even for new students.

[MDIN2009]

"You know....it could be funny if it wasn't so pathetic and sad.

The saddest part is that you are still replying trying to get the last word.

I bet you that most ppl who read my posts understood my point.

The same can be said for my posts.

Here it is again for specially gifted folks like yourself.

This is an insult...and I should get you for flaming...but I don't really care...we should see who is more gifted you or me.

If Windsor raised tuition now (as was alleged in this topic) it will be detrimental to their business. Why? B/c it's relatevely new school w/ pretty good potential, but w/o proven track record, many graduates, established contacts etc. Of course, you're going to say that I'm bringing up "cookies".

Now which part of this concept do you still not understand?

This is what I don't understand....

"With all due respect, SABA is not exactly Windsor. They've been graduating ppl since 1993, Cali and NY approved, tousands of fully licensed physicians in practice,"

I never compared Windsor to Saba...we were talking about tuition. And yes Windsor is nothing like SABA we all know that. I don not need you to point this out. And yes back in 2004 Saba's tuition was 5900...but if you look at my post I was just stating that no even with the rumored tuition increase, Windsor tuition would still be less. But, yes SABA is a better school. And yes...for that amount we should all choose SABA. And yes if I could go to SABA I would. Nice school...but I don't need you to run down all the accomplishments of SABA. Most of us like you have done some research about Caribbean medical schools.I was just talking about numbers....numbers man that's all.

"But let's not compare SABA and Windsor. They are just not in the same categogy"

And this is the statement that really pissed me off. Yes, we all know this and we do not need a Ross grad to point this out. Thank you but we unworthy trolls can make some conclusions on our own. We do not need you to point this out....we all know this. Thanks for insulting our intelligence.

What does it have to do with High School, and ESL?
English as a Second Language...this is a class that teaches English to students that English is not their primary language.

When your arguement can't hold the water you resort to personal attacks.


My arguments were not meant to hold water...LOL But,the only personal attack I made I edited...yesterday. Yes, my argument can hold water...depends on what side you are on.

You probably think that with your "green" moderator screen name you look so darn important and impressive that nobody can disagree with you. I've got news for you pal, you don't necessarily talk to some captive audience of sculls full of mush.


Persona attack....look who is attacking now.

I respectfully, and tactfully brought up my point. You failed to see it and instead of providing counterarguement went on the personal attack.

True...but I edited my post right away...less than a few min....look at the post and the time edited.

But I already told you save it for your girlfriends and friends. You lack substance, and are DEAD WRONG. But I suppose it would be asking too much of you to admit it.

I don't like to be told to anything...epically from Dr.Evil.

That's alright though. Carry on pal, ee if I care :rolleyes: :evil:

Signing off of this thread.

I don't think you are the type of person who can sign off...I guess even Ross students can be made to play in the dirt!

cuz the other fees are right now at about 300 dolalrs per student

it wont be surprising they add a few more to the fees
