[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I graduated in 1997, and it was $25k a year at a private New England college. Now it’s probably over $60k. People also make double. [/quote] Salaries aren't double what they were in 1997. Tuition increases have way outpaced increases in salaries. Housing price increases have also significantly outpaced salary increases, so those two combined make college that much less affordable.[/quote] The people who can afford to full pay can afford double. Someone is paying tuition, and colleges are getting many more applications than they have spaces for. Sorry you can’t afford it. [/quote] Wow. I guess this poster believes there is room for college tuition to double. My guess is that it will come crashing back to Earth when we simultaneously achieve live-quality online instruction and a demographic age cohort decline in 5-8 years.[/quote]
