Damn. It was like $1200 when I started in 1996.
I remember those days.
However, this is 22yrs later.
A Chevy truck was $10K those days too.

I got by on $2k per semester in covered wagon days. That's tuition, books, room, board, fraternity dues and a little spending money.

I think it was $1700 my last semester in 2001. It's crazy how much tuition has been inflated over the past 2 decades.
This is what bugs me when baby boomers talk about 'just work to pay your tuition'. My mom worked during the summers in the 60's and was able to pay for her entire years tuition. Where is an 18yo supposed to be able to find a job paying $4k/month after taxes that is hiring for the summer? You're basically forced to either have parents that can pay or you take loans and start your adult life in major debt.
