Ah, it was a while in the past. I still suspect there was little significant difference in price.
As far as cost, you seem to misunderstand. Imagine you are about to choose to do that final year or not, and you have in front of you a job offer with a salary of thirty thousand CAD.
So, if you go to school, you will pay 100CAD per semester, and have -200CAD after the year is over, plus some schooling. If you don't go to school, you will have 30000CAD after the year is over (well, there are taxes and such, and the school year doesn't line up perfectly with the academic year . . . assume you would get the 30000CAD for the exact same period you were in school, after taxes).
So in exchange for some schooling, you have given up 200CAD and the opportunity to have another 30000CAD. That 30000CAD is an opportunity cost. If the schooling is worth 30200CAD to you, then take it. If not, don't. But don't take the schooling if it is only worth 200CAD or a little more to you, because you're giving up 30000CAD in order to get it.
