Given the uproar from the Occupiers and Campaigner-in-Chief, I got curious about the facts re: college tuitions.
According to the College Board. here’s what it really costs to attend college:
- Public two-year colleges charge, on average, $2,713 per year in tuition and fees.
- Public four-year colleges charge, on average, $7,605 per year in tuition and fees for in-state students.
- Public four-year colleges charge, on average, $19,595 per year in tuition and fees for out-of-state students.
- Private nonprofit four-year colleges charge, on average, $27,293 per year in tuition and fees.
The College Board adds: “Keep in mind that — due to grants and other forms of financial aid — the actual price the average undergraduate pays for a college education is considerably lower than the published tuition and fees.”

For the record, Georgetown University charges undergrads $40,920 per year in tuition … and about $10,000 in room, board and miscellaneous charges … MBAs pay a couple of bucks short of $50,000 — just for tuition.
Ouch !
