I graduated LSU 30 years after my dad and adjusted for inflation the cost of my tuition was 6x his. I can tell you the value of my degree was not 6x his.
I started LSU 26 years ago although the cost model was different pre TOPS. I do remember my part of tuition being like $1500 per semester when I started. It's probably 4x that now. Smaller schools like Southeastern were $1000/semester.

For $1,500 per semester, to think you could get a bachelors degree where it would only cost you $12,000 is mind blowing at that time, compared to the inflated cost of tuition now.
