[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That seems awfully high. The most expensive colleges we’ve seen are $70K a year so $280 for four years currently. Even 15 years out that seems high. [/quote] No, the most expensive schools are now in the $80k range. Prices are rising FAST. When my oldest started at Tufts in the fall of 2012, cost of attendance (tuition, room, board, fees) was $56k and we thought that was absurdly expensive and sometimes couldn’t believe we were paying that much. Now, for the upcoming school year, that $56k doesn’t even cover tuition at Tufts! Tuition is now $59,500, r&b is $15,500, and fees are $1300. It’s crazy.[/quote] Except no kid NEEDS to go to Tufts. Or a Nescac. The Ivies at least are the most generous schools in the country. If you are rich enough to not get FA at a top private you can surely afford a state flagship without loans, which not everyone can do. Count your blessings![/quote]
