The cost of public college tuition has increased 2000% in the last 45 years. For private tuition 1600%.
Looking from 1978 it’s an increase of 1225% which compared to shelter (despite how expensive it is) has only increased 370% in the same time period.
I wonder how much these organisations would raise prices if students would go regardless of whether they would typically be able to afford it, or whether their preferred subject isn’t feasible to study at because that field doesn’t pay well enough to justify it.
(Not an argument against doing so, just pointing it out)
Aren’t costs already ridiculous enough? If it would cost you $50,000 total imagine if you paid $50/hr for 1-1 tutoring in your desired field… that’s 1000 hrs 1-1.
If the average salary of a professor is $101,000. how is it so expensive as a student to sit in a room with so many other students and still only one professor?
