How much does a college education cost?

[Happypop]

Just on average.

Way too much today. Depending upon where you go look at about 20,000 to 40,000 per year for a university and 5,000 to 15,000 for a public state college.

Is it not a coincidence that college administrators make substantially more today after tuition rate shot up in the 90's??

When considering cost do not forget what it costs to live. For a truly worthwhile college experience remain a full-time student and refrain from working while in school. Summer jobs are OK.

A good way to start is to begin at a community college and greatly reduce your long-term costs. Apply for grants and scholarships and do all it takes to avoid loans. Loans are hideous and are wose than gum on a shoe. Loan interest rates can go up too.

Good luck!

yes maybe 30-40k BUT you still needs books ( costs hundreds) dorm or apt. School supplies, laptop or desktop, food, plenty of other stuff to worry about

For tuition only: depends on the country, the program and your financial situation. In the US, I think it's free in your home state, then tons outside. Up in Canada, it cost me about 25K for four years of undergrad, and it's going to be about 54K for 4 years of pharmacy.
