<p>It’s not a government conspiracy but there’s little reason tuition costs should rise sharply if the education remains the same. Except for technical students who need access to advanced equipment, the vast majority of undergrad students are learning much of the same knowledge available 50 years ago. Most new changes may be attributed to advances in science and technology. There are other costs such as energy use, faculty, facilities, etc. </p>
<p>More people should ask themselves how much does their education actually cost. Is it financially savvy to pay $100k for a Women’s Studies degree?</p>
