Hey Aska,
Let me start off, by saying that this website was pure genius!
It’s nice to see that students have a way of asking questions and
getting such honest, and very descriptive replies.
Thanks for that ! 🙂
So, on to my question : I was looking through ROSI, and they put up my
current balance being $6,339.58. In the invoice it says I need to pay
for :
Incidental fees-campus fees and Incidental fees-societies. What is
that exactly? And, why do we pay so much for that?
Thank You? ! 🙂

Hey man, thanks. I dig you, too.
That is a hefty tuition you’ve got there. All those additional charges for “incidental fees – campus and societies” can be explained, and are in full detail in an extended invoice under your “Financial Accounts” tab on your ROSI account. Basically all U of T students, in addition to their course fees, pay fees towards their college, student government, Hart House, newspaper, health plans, dental plans and Athletic Centre (in addition to other miscellaneous fees, all detailed on your invoice). These fees are all non-negotiable,? with the exception of the health and dentistry fees which students can actually “opt out” of on ROSI. (Most people I know spent the kick back cash on new sneakers…or drugs.) Basically, U of T as a mega institution allows its students such a sublime quality of life, thanks to all the gratis services it supplies with a huge levy from all its students.
Got it now? Make sure you get your money’s worth by constantly working out at the AC, reading the student newspapers, writing angry letters to UTSU and crashing every student club you can for its free food and drink.
