[quote=Anonymous]The rapid inflation in college tuition (and private school tuition too) is an outright scandal. When I graduated from an Ivy 20 years ago the total cost for one year (including room and board and all expenses) was about the same as a brand new BMW 3 series. Around $30k. I know this because my father bought one the year I graduated as a celebration of getting his last kid through college. Flash forward 20 years that same Ivy is charging 70K a year and an equivalent BMW 3 is around 42-43k. I do not know how these colleges justify their escalating tuition costs that have vastly exceeded the rate of inflation. The schools are not "better" than they were 20 years ago. So what gives? And it's increasingly clear that it's not worth the money, at least to me. [/quote]
