College Student Pays Tuition With $1 Bills

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) --   A college student from Sacramento found an interesting way to protest the high cost of tuition.

Nicholas Ramos paid his $14,000 tuition bill with $1 bills.

The economics major from Sacramento attends the University of Colorado in Boulder.

He posted a video on YouTube explaining the message he wanted to send.

"I've got a few envelopes of $1000 in hundreds," says Ramos.

Ramos says all the dollars ended up weighing almost 30 pounds.
