If you've ever used Groupon, you know that it's a fantastic way to find local discounts and deals on restaurants and supplies. What you may not know, though is that one Chicago university is now using Groupon to give away 60% discounts on tuition.
According to this article on Mashable, National Louis University is trying to attract students to its graduate teaching program with this deal, which cuts tuition for student teachers from $2,232 to $950. The offer goes live today and is open to 25 lucky graduate candidates, so don't be surprised if Groupon is a little slow today.
What do you think? Is this just a marketing gimmick to get the university's name out there, or do you think this could set a trend for other colleges and universities in the future?

Printing in the Libraries
Every term, students are allowed 200 pages of free printing. After that, students must pay 10 cents per page.
When printing remember that your account number is your student ID number (900 number). Do not use the 31_ before your number like you do to log in to ANGEL.
Your password is your 6 digit birthday. That's MMDDYY.
Then walk to the release station, enter your account number and password, select your job, and click "Start Printing." Enter your password one more time. The job is then released to the printer.
