1. A fee charged for instruction at a school or university.

2. Teaching: instruction, especially when given individually or in a small group.
Like private schools or home teaching, tuition is charged. It isn't for free.

1. An imaginary number invented by college administrators to inspire fear in middle-class parents and new students.

2. An enormous fee that automatically rises at 3 times the rate of inflation.

3. The catch-all term for huge sums of money that young pepole start paying at age 18 or 19. Payments usually continue for the next 10-20 years.
College President: "What should Tuition be next year?"

Comptroller: "Let's me see... $38,000 has a nice ring to it. Of course, we always tack on another $6,000 in fees just for fun, not to mention mandatory health insurance and thost textbooks that cost $100 a pop."

College President: "Can we make it $39,000?"

Comptroller: "Why not? Works for me!"

First sighting occured at Simon Fraser University, more occurances are believed to occur at SFU and elsewhere.
Sober guy:"Dude I'm broke"
High guy:"YOu must've been ripped off by the tuition genie"

College Tuition  

The one thing that's probably gonna keep you from going to college in the first place since their gonna charge you an arm and a leg ( and maybe your soul) just so they can teach you crap.
Prospective student: Awesome! I got accepted into Penn State! Now all I need to know is how much it's gonna cost. "Prospective student looks at college tuition bill for fall 2009"

Prospective student: "Blank expression on his face"

Tuition bill: Meets shredder

No-trition 

A descriptor for food that at first glance appears to be healthy, but is actually packed with sugar or other unsavoury elements.

Comes from the words "no" and "nutrition."
That All-Bran bar looked healthy until I realized its second ingredient was high-fructose corn syrup. You won't catch me eating food so full of no-trition.

tuition free 

When you get something in school that you didn't directly purchase but your tuition pays for it.
Person 1: "My teacher just handed me this digital camera for free for my photo class."
Person 2: "Dude, that's not free, your tuition payed for it."
Person 1: "Yeah, I know man, that's what you call 'tuition free'."
