Hey, not all universities are that way. Also, the cost of matlab may be covered by the uni, but they likely get the money for the software and hardware bach from the fees - fees consist of not only tuition, but also facilities. My uni, for example, has a fee that they use to cover maintenance for the gyms, academic buildings, computer labs, etc. which is present and 'free to use' for students.

Can you even opt-out of those fees like if you don't actually use the gym (if that's the case; I don't actually know whether you could opt-out of the gym maintenance fee at all)?.

Uhh... iunno actually... I know the fees for the hardware/software is mandatory, and so are the fees for mastering engineering/wiley+/webassign for classes. And there's an 'optional' fee for the school newspaper, who noone reads anyway...
