Not sure where you got that info.
A quick check of PSU's Tuition Rates shows it's roughly $10K per year for state residents, and TWICE that amount for non-residents.

Then you have to add room & board, not to mention various other fees and living expenses.

Annual in-state tuition, room/board, books and other fees at Penn State is $18,326. Times 4 years = $73,304.

$2500 a year to go to PSU? I doubt it.

[BADROTOFINGER]

2 years at a Community College in a civil engineering technical program: Approximately $6000

Expected wage/salary: $35k/yr.

Expected salary after proving myself valuable to an employer and obtaining my P.L.S.: Range of $50k-$85k/yr.

The problem with college is that it concentrates on teaching nearly irrelevant subjects so that stupid leftists who did not want to become useful to others could have jobs teaching garbage like 'social sciences' or 'ethnic studies'. It would seem to be the opposite of a free market...JFK
