Actually, no, at least not until he gets state residency (Wyoming state 
residency) as it's 305 dollars per credit hour out of state tuition at UWyo 
alone.  So he can take ONE class on that stipend.

I went to Oregon Institute of Technology, and out of state tuition was a lot. 
It is also the cheapest public school in Oregon.  Heck, even my IN state 
tuition was expensive.  You have to take 16-18 credit hours a term to come 
out with a degree in 4 years there, and 16 credit hours out of state costs 
you 5,509.25 just in tuition per term, so multiply by 3 and you can see just 
tuition is 16,000+ dollars.

That's not a cent of living expenses.  Prices have gone up since '89 it would 
seem.

I think he should study in Europe.
