<p>aspen–sounds about right–we spend about 41000 (with room and board) at USC for my son (thank heaven for PLUS loans!), and Southern Cal is on the higher end of private college tuition/room/board. I would assume that the additional cost of equipment (fun stuff like weapons, ammo, etc!) would boost a significant amount to the total yearly cost per cadet.</p>
