Cost of College
Lo, those many years ago when I went to college, it cost me about $1200 for two semesters. We're talking the early seventies and I chose the least expensive four year college in my state. That $1200 covered tuition, room and board in the dorm, and book rental. It is true that we had mystery meat a lot and there was nothing elegant about the dorm.
I looked up what it would cost to attend that same university for one year today and went into shock. It costs $16,400 for tuition and room and board in the dorm. Books and fees extra.
Holy Toledo! How does anyone afford to go to college anymore? I came out of college with $3,000 in debt. No wonder people are coming out of college with tens of thousand dollars of debt.
