College Tuition in 1964 for Boston College $465/semester.

College Tuition in 2010 for Boston College $30,950/Year.

Do the math. It’s pretty typical, I think.

And these days, many MANY students require an extra year because they were feeling good about themselves and “studying abroad.”

In the good old days we studied a broad and felt pretty good and finished in four years.

We have two kids in school. Our daughter was born deaf, her tuition/rm & bd is paid for; which is better than her being on SSN her entire life.

We pay a monthly bill of 1500 (tuition management) covers tuition & rm & bd at UAF and we give him 500/month extra. $2000/month is as cheap as I can find with no loans taken out and no financial aid available. That degree is something every kid needs to have when they start out and they need to complete it when they are young. At least I have the peace of mind knowing he won't be in debt when he gets out.

When I went to PSU many years back, per semester was around 3500, now 9000; close enough to 400%. Anyway you look at it, a wise investment.

When I was an undergraduate at UCLA in 1966, Student union fee was $50.00 dollars, average cost of books was $50.00 at most. No tuition for instate students!
It is a total crime what is happening today!
University Education complex (including banks, professors, and all administrators are involved in a criminal enterprise to enrich themselves at the expense of students and the public!
A deeper look will reveal that commie operatives and fellow travelers have spearheaded this successful effort to rob American populace of an educated class successful! And Yes I know that Nixon is the one who allowed banks to get involved in student loans, and laid the foundation of what is happening today!

State colleges in Tennessee have gone up over 400% in the last 20 years alone. I went to school from ‘91-’96 and borrowed a little over $10,000 for all four years (that was for tuition, books, AND gas for my car. Now tuition and books alone will cost you $8000 per semester.
