The account request procedure on DeepThought asks the applicant several questions (What is your name?, etc.) For its amusement value, it was suggested to me that I throw in the swallow question from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The situation is similar at private institutions. The average tuition prices increased by 3.8 percent between 2012-13 and 2013-14, to $30,090. But the average net price also increased, from $11,930 in 2012-13 to $12,460 in 2013-14.Some parents are able to provide their children with the financial resources necessary to pay tuition and fees ...hile the published tuition and fees at public and private colleges still increased in 2013, the growth was smaller than it has been in past years. At public, four-year colleges, for example, published tuition and fees increased by 2.9 percent â the smallest one-year increase since the mid-1970s.
Thus, even after controlling for the effects of general inflation, 2008 college tuition and fees posed three times the burden as in 1978. According to the College Board, the average tuition price for a 4-year public college in 2008-2009 was $6,585 compared to 2004 when the price was slightly above $5,000.
