Duke University has jacked up the fees for all students in order to offer payment for sex change surgeries for students. This will now be covered up to $50,000 dollars.
This puts Duke University on the list of nearly 40 universities which cover sex change operations.
Students who are anticipating such a change in their life should strongly consider applying to a school on this list of universities, of which Duke counts itself near the top. Those who do not feel that they can afford to contribute to sex change surgery can also opt to avoid this expense.

Transgenderlaw.org also lists Universities which only pay for the hormonal support/maintenance of sex changes for students.
Extra issues to consider: Sexual ambiguity as a congenital malformation has risen with the use of hormonal birth control. Those children with such physiological difficulties currently receive medical assistance much earlier in life. This is particularly true of the population which has access to college education.
