I suggest you don't use bitcoin in this case for short term transfer, because there is a possibility that bitcoin value decrease and you don't have enough money to pay your tuition.
However, I believe as an long term investment, it is worth it.
I agree, I don't plan on ever spending btc or altcoin unless I absolutely have to. For day to day stuff it's not worth it..... at least not yet
I could not disagree more. We need more people spending their bitcoin for day to day transactions. The OP would subject himself to exchange rate risk, however generally speaking the price does not vary that much over the two days or so that he would be invested in BTC (this past week has been an exception, but prior to this week the price has been more or less steady).
