College costs are getting astronomical - so for you young parents out there - Start saving your pennies  |
That's about what I paid each month to live in the dorm at my school, which included sharing the room with a roommate.
The cost of public higher ed. varies greatly from state to state (yearly tuition):
- University of Michigan's tuition varies even according to major, which is interesting and unusual I think. But from the looks of it, 2007 tuition there for in-state averaged around $5,500 (out of state around $16,000),
- University of Washington $6,300 in state; $22,000 out of state
- University of Texas $9,200 in-state full time business undergrad (again it varies according to major); $20,000 out of state
- Ole Miss $5,100 for in-state; $7,300 out of state
- UCLA $5,800 in-state; $25,000 out of state
- Florida State $3,700 in state; $18,000 out of state
Ole Miss looks like a bargain for out-of-staters.
