$500/year is generous? It would probably be cheaper to formally enroll and take no classes.
- gwern 16y agoI suspect you need at least one class to be formally enrolled, and that would apparently be a minimum cost of $950: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sfs/docs/University_Tuition_And_Fees/tuition-fees-10-11.html http://www.columbia.edu/cu/sfs/docs/University_Tuition_And_F...
- icefox 16y agoSo your saying as a bonus to the library your first class is only $450! :D
- lukeschlather 16y agoI've been formally enrolled in the continuing education program at Wittenberg university for something like a year, with no cost. I'm sure Columbia is a little more strict (Wittenberg after all lets anyone into their library) but I'd imagine if you were determined you could gain access to the library for less than $500/year, though that still doesn't make any price generous so much as a price that Columbia has chosen. Generous would be giving free access.
