My summer tuition bill is PAID! This means all my fees are taken care of, and I have nothing to do but sit back and relax until Italy!
Just one problem-- I was a dummy and didn't know there was a convenience fee of 2% on every credit card payment made through the university. I waited until the very last minute to pay my bill so that it would show up on June's cycle and my money could collect a bit more interest in the bank. Makes sense in my mind. BUT now I got slapped with a $30 fee to pay with my credit card! And the money isn't in my checking to pay with an e-check, so I had no other choice. Well... the lady at the Bursar did try to trick me into taking another choice. Deferred payments! Sounds wonderful! Until you factor in the FIFTY DOLLAR deferment fee!! Aaaahh those people are sneaky sometimes. I *almost* fell for it...

Yeah you really have to be mindful of all the fees they charge you! And they pretty much charge to use a CC because they get charged by the CC company to run it and dont want to pay for it themselves! At least you have your tuition paid for now! :)
Yeah I should have looked into it sometime BEFORE the day the bill was due, so it's my own fault... but it's still annoying, haha.
