B Vanderbilt provides a confidential $15 HTV test. Birth control pills range from $5 to $7 per pack, and flu shots are $5 each. Junior Patrick Pitman said the distance from where he lives to the health Igp center is convenient because he doesn't mmm have a car, but he added that accessibility doesn't compensate for relia mi uintj. "There's a joke around Vandy about the health center," Pitman said. "If you're ever sick with a cold or the flu,, they'll give you the blue pills. The blue pills are like a generic handout." Arkansas students pay a $36 health fee per semester, which covers visits to physicians, health educators and M stress counselors, said Laverne Proctor-Streeter, assistant director at the University Health Center. The price of insurance through the university is about $250 per semes* ter, but only international students ivllah are squired to have it, she said. "We found that in the past, a large number (of internationals) would come without insurance and would have to Tgo to another hospital," Proctor-Streetsr said. H Kotary In " 8 7:30 r i s ? ito ?

"There are a lot of ways to give property tax relief without cutting higher education," Palms said. "Fifty percent of property tax goes to education K through 12. How much property tax relief do we really want to have?" Palms said he will make sure the legislators know a tax cut will increase the cost of a university education. "We have made it pretty clear that the cuts will result in a sizable tuition increase," he said. "It will be a real tax increase for those who attend universities and colleges." Florida students are charged $4.32 per credit hour for their health fee. "Each year, it goes up," said Mag gie Tucker at the Student Health Care Center. Insurance isn't required, but it's "highly recommended," Tucker said. For infirmary insurance, the cost is $100 per year, and for major medical coverage, $500 per year is the normal fee. Florida's health center employs seven physicians, six physician assistants and nine nurse practitioners. There also are 22 registered nurses. Services at the health center include women's care, orthopedics, dermatology, mental health and nutrition. ^ There are about 120,000 outpatient visits per school year, or 500 per day, 1 Tucker said. Students commonly visit the health center when they're sick with the flu or a cold, when they need birth control or when they need to be treated for AIDS, STDs or broken bones, Tucker said. Students also can receive dental care from Shands Teaching Hospital, where UF medical students attend classes. Shands isnt part ofUFs health care system. "Most students go to the infirmary . because they don't have to pay to see someone," junior Rachel Harm an said. "If you go to Shands, you have to pay big time." Junior Emily V. Troiano said, "Every time I've gone to the infirmary, I've been pleased." UF offers confidential HIV tests for $25. "Right now, it's free for February because the AIDS/HIV committee funds the cost of the test," Tucker said. Flu shots are $10 each, and birth control pills are $3.50 to $8.50 per pack. "Medicine and lab fees are really cheap," said senior Josh Fryman, who has received inexpensive dental care at Shands. At the Brooks Health Center, students have access to general medicine, family planning, women's care and counseling, nurse Shirley James said.

The most common ailments are upper-respiratory infections, urinary track infections, stress counseling and preventive and family planning. Brooks is staffed by three full-time nurses, a psychologist and a dietitian for mental and nutritional health. The health center doesn't offer flu shots, but birth control pills and HIV tests are free.
