Tuition increases for 2025-2026

[Anonymous]

My kid's college just published their 2025-2026 Tuition. Increase of 6%. Well over inflation. Be advised as you budget for college that you should expect large year-over-year increases.

What about your kids' college?

If cost is an issue, take the community college transfer route. Or maybe should have saved instead of buying that bmw, suv, or truck.

Only took five comments to get to this nonsense. Might be a record.

Has any school hit $100k yet?

It's almost like cutting funding for education has an impact on tuition prices. Hm.

I think this is to be expected, considering inflation over recent years.

It was definitely expected but the colleges can't pin this on inflation. College prices have been rising waaaaayyyyyy faster than inflation since the 90s.

+1 but they keep raising those prices outpacing inflation because enough people are willing to pay them.
