[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster who wrote that 20 years ago college cost $50K, where did you go to college? I graduated in 1997 from a private college and it was MAYBE $25K with room and board. I remember my mom writing a check for maybe $8-9K per semester plus I had my couple thousand dollars per semester of student loans.[/quote]

We graduated mid-90's..  I went to a private in NE and then to a state school then back to an expensive private for graduate school.  My sibling went to Ivy's and top graduate school in their field.  They were $40's-50's except the state that was about $25K.[/quote]

20 years ago was 1999. I graduated from an Ivy in 2002. The tuition and room and board in 2002 was around 33k. Not 40-50k.

Tuition in the mid 1990s would have been around 25ish, going up a thousand a year on average.

You should be able to google this information easily. I don't think the Ivies crossed the 40k threshold till 2005ish. Its amazing, startling really, how rapidly they have gone up in such a short time.

This is undergraduate. Professional programs would have been more expensive and perhaps this is what you're remembering. [/quote]
