It's also interesting how universities count scholarship money and grants as "expenses". I guess it is in a sense, but, they're just strategically accepting less money for certain students, that doesn't mean that the initial $60k tuition price is an appropriate and required default point to keep the lights on and that anything less than that is an "expense" that has to be recovered elsewhere.

I guess that partially explains of how I paid only $868 a year in tuition to attend San Diego State University. Even with inflation, I don’t think the number is comparable today.
Now about the cost of text books....
