One-year college tuition is academic year. It is usually collected at the beginning of school, and it is a one-time payment. If there are individual cases, you can talk to the teacher and apply for subsidies for poor families. Tuition fees will be stated in the admissions brochure, and there will always be some differences in tuition fees of each school, but the differences will not be too great. Private universities are much more expensive than public universities. University tuition fees include accommodation fees, teachers' teaching fees, books fees, activity fees, examination fees, etc. But it does not include living expenses, which are of course freely controlled according to one's own economic situation.
