Education: I graduated in 2001 from an Ivy League university. It cost $32K a year as far as I remember. The same thing costs $50K or so now? That's a pretty astounding increase in such a short time.
An increase of 56% in 14 years is only 3.2% per year. Sure, that's more than the 2.0% average inflation rate, but I wouldn't say that it's an astounding increase.
- will_work4tears 12y agoThat's probably true, but at least in my school, the greatest increases had been in the last few years. When I graduated in 2008, 2009 tuition was increasing something along the lines of 7.4% Probably the majority of that 14 years it went up relatively slowly and has gone up much more lately.
