The price is going to depend on a lot of factors. For example, an education in civil engineering or medicine, with extensive equipment-heavy labs, is going to be more expensive than an education in history, which really only needs a library and maybe some field-trips if you want to get fancy.
I did try to come up with a BOTE number for the cost of a bare-bones college education, and the number I arrived at was $30,000.

The engineering colleges I attended had their respective building fully remodeled through the donation of wealthy graduates of the college. Most of the computer labs were put together through industry donations. Also even in civil engineering you would be surprised how little lab courses are provided in undergrad... most of it is pen and paper work or maybe computer simulations which cost little extra.
