I just checked the university I went to. It looks like since the 50s, tuition has basically doubled every 10 years. I graduated 20 years ago, so it’s roughly 4x what I paid. So yeah, if a boomer graduated 40 years ago at $750 a semester, that would track to $12,000 a semester now. Sounds about right.
If the trend continues, she can removed at my kids for being lazy in 10 years for not being able to work off a $24,000 a semester tuition by flipping burgers part time.
