For what it&#x27;s worth, the majority of public US institutions are similar in cost. The outlandish prices are either private schools or out-of-state tuition rates.<p>It&#x27;s been ten years, but my undergraduate tuition at a modestly well respected engineering-focused university was ~$2000-year. I think the rates at tech are now about $4000-year, but it&#x27;s not too outrageous.
