Pubic vs Private? I'm not sure what your trying to say here, there is such a broad range on both sides with a lot of elite private schools having the most expensive tuitions. https://www.businessinsider.com/most-expensive-colleges-in-the-us-2017-2 https://www.businessinsider.com/most-expensive-colleges-in-t... I think if you really want to look at how to lower costs you look at how the community colleges do it. Rick Perry (for all that is wrong with that guy) was spot on, when he basically said that it shouldn't really cost much more per year for a 4 year college as it does at a community college. Thats really the key to free college.

Which puts the average at $11k a year (about 1/2 to a 1/3 is overhead outside of first line teachers salaries).
