found a receipt from Univ. of Houston on Twitter: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkiDeV8UcAADv1j.jpg

Cost for the courses and parking etc. for 1 semester was $152.50 . I guess the student had to buy some books also - so say, even $100 in books would take it to $252.50 ?

And 1975 minimum wage was $2.10/hour. So ~ 120 hours of labor (1 month) was enough to cover tuition and books.
