Not every college has crazy tuition. The school I attended in 2000 to 2004 has kept pace with inflation generally. Annual tuition is now around $10k, which is a lot, but not unmanageable for many middle class families. I'm curious how this compares across universities throughout the U.S. Maybe the tuition story has bifurcated somewhat?

Tuition for my college in 2012-2016 was around 6k per year. A quick Google shows me this increased to 11k.

And it's worse than it looks, because this doesn't include cost of materials, the dreaded "other fees", and of course, room and board. Room and board increased 50%.

And this used to be considered a "best value" college. I'm sure it's only worse fr private schools in the state.
