Nah, I paid the "normal" price for calc, but the core subjects for biomed are twice the price despite just being science :(

Should have done Science :P

@Gloam, I know science is a priority area but i've always been too lazy to find out why my biomed core subjects aren't (and why I'm paying $1000 for the privilege of sleeping in them). Thoughts?

I've noticed that as well with Biomed friends.

I've also observed that the different bands that subjects are in also correspond to the estimation of how much you could earn upon graduation.  Probably explains why commerce subjects tend to be so expensive.

BAHAHA that supposes someone with an Arts degree would get higher pay than someone with a Science degree straight off the bat.
...Yep.
