> IMO, “shopping” for college shouldn’t be anything like buying a used car. The prices should be affordable and publicly shared. The price of a used car is more transparent than US universities. I think the main comparison for the cost of going to college is more similar to the cost of going to the emergency room. You get individual bills coming in from every doctor and nurse that gave a sideways glance at your X-Ray. Likewise with a university they talk about the price of tuition, and oh wait you're too far from home and need a place to stay? And you're under 26 years old? Going to need to spend another $10k per semester for staying in a dorm. You'll need food passes and parking passes. You'll need books and everything.
