I went to a private university (U of R) and the tuition was $4200. at that time, IIRC.
Total cost for four years with room and board was $24k..........less some financial assistance. I was able to graduate with almost no debt.
Today, the same school gets $45K for the same miserable education...........it's unconscionable.
Leaving such a school with $125K debt puts the graduate severely behind the financial curve for many years into the future.
