[quote=Anonymous][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]

Most Ivy's are at or close to 100K.  NYS has a requirement you have to disclose all hour years of costs to incoming  students. My daughter got than info from Fordham, Syracuse and even GWU and American as she was a NYS resident at a time so out of state schools had to disclose. She graduates 2022. Tuition in 2022 is crazy high. My other child is in going in to 12. Class of 2024. You dont want to know expensive schools tuition in 2024. Pretty much every IVY over 100k and every decent private school over 90K        [/quote]
