5 years, not 15. And yeah it is nasty. Something I wasn't 100% aware when I entered. Though I doubt I would have gone the other way anyway with the risk of losing co-op or something along those lines.

Well, I said 15 because it started during the 90s, and the dot-com-bubble burst in 2000.

You pay tuition only in terms where you attend classes (ie not co-op terms). However, co-op students pay a hefty fee with their tuition to fund the co-op program (about $1000/term, included in the $5620 amount above).

From what I recall from my last term, it is 5300 base tuition per term of CS (This was first year) + approx 800 for the coop and another 200-300 for other various incidental fees that get tagged on.

It comes out to around 6500 per term in first year + residence fees.
