Do you only pay tuition only once when you attend university?

Question

Do you pay it again for the next year? and so on?

Answer 1

In most Universities you pay for tuition every semester, and there are usually 2 semesters per school year, some universities are different but this is the most common.

Answer 2

In my case I pay at the beginning of every trimester.  

Answer 3

Oh you pay again and again. Tuition is only part of it, the fees can get crazy. In Massachusetts (not sure about other states) increases in tuition must be approved by the state, so they jack up the fees to avoid going through what is necessary for a tuition increase. My tuition is under $1000 a year, but the fees are something like 3 times the tuition. Look at each school to see what their tuition and fees are like and what schedule they are on.
