1.10 ^ 30 = 17.45X the 1994 cost.
Unless State U education was darn close to free back then, I'm thinking that quite a bit of that cost increase was due to Other Factors. (Or Poetic License.)
- taylodl 2y agoNot even joking - it was damn close to free back then! The amount of inflation has been variable - it's been between 6% and 10% per year, though it's been closer to 10% for most of that term. That's why back in the day you could work a part-time job and pay for your tuition and off-campus room and board. This is how state public universities used to be.
