<p>I just checked the UIC tuition schedule for Summer 2010, two things to note:</p>
<p>1) You’re paying health insurance which isn’t necessary if you’re either a dependent or have a job where your insurance is covered.</p>
<p>2) You’re taking 3 credits, which falls into the tuition for 3-6 credits. In other words, you could add another 3 credit class for free.</p>
<p>So you should be paying ~$2,000 for 2 classes rather than $2250 for 1 class.</p>
<p>But to answer the question, $2,000 for 6 credits is a bit high. I’m paying ~$2,400 in-state at wisconsin for 9 credits. It’s not an absurd rate, though, you just took the worst possible combination of choices.</p>
