[quote=Anonymous]Lack of state funding for public universities and easy access to debt are the big drivers. I went to college in the late 80s/early 90s and my parents paid for all of my college, as did most of my friends'. But we went to a public university where tuition for the whole year was only about $2k. Really, $2k in tuition for one year (plus food/dorm/etc.). Using an inflation calculator, that would be $5500 this year but that college now costs $13,000. Still relatively inexpensive vs. a lot of others but more than double in real terms what we paid back then. Most of the difference is cuts in public funding. [/quote]
