Wonder how many years it will be before some school goes over $100k a year. I think I read some schools are up at $55k+ this year. Crazy.



I am in college right now. I will have kids in college probably in 25 years (ish). It would NOT surprise me in the least if they hit that point. My parent’s generation paid around $40/credit hour at the school I’m at, I pay around $350. I wonder if I could find out what their total COA was…

Then again, there may be a backlash on universities because people can’t pay $55k and part of the reason that sticker price keeps going up is because they need to keep giving out more and more financial aid. Eventually, something’s gotta give, no? (Although, maybe not. Universities tend to not run like any other business in our country so they are quite tricky to make typical predictions about.)t
