If your bank account has ever looked at you with pity, this collection was made for you. College promises knowledge, friendships, and a bright future, but it also delivers tuition bills, mystery fees, and a very personal relationship with instant noodles. Since crying into your textbook does not count as a payment plan, we rounded up the funniest tuition memes to help you laugh through the chaos.
