Which way is smarter?
Tuition, books, transportation, ... should be < $8K/yr, for ~$30K over 4 years - if you live/eat at home.

See, you said it: "if you live/eat at home". Some students don't have a nice home that is given for free and free food to eat. That is assuming a lot and that is where the majority of expenses are. Rez at SFU is $2350 a semester and that is not including a meal card if you decide to purchase one (although in some rez buildings, it is mandatory). Each semester should not cost you more than $4000 if all you pay is for tuition and books, although some of us do not get the luxury of being spoon fed by parents.
