TABLE

A lot of reports say

college costs are

skyrocketing out of

control. This may be true

for private colleges, but

tuition costs for public

institutions seem to rise in

a steady pattern. The

information in the table

lists the college tuition

costs for four-year public

institutions of higher

education since the 1969-

70 school year.

If you have a child when you turn 28, in what

year will he or she most likely first attend college?

1994+28=2022( the child would be born)

+18 ( after attending 12 yrs of school)

= 2040

My child will go to college in the year 2040/2041

Estimated tuition= 15,000-20,000 dollars

WHEN OUR KIDS GO TO COLLEGE…

As we all know, college costs are rising every year. I feel like the rising costs of education after high school will push

many students away from college. Many students need

scholarships, loans, and financial aid to cover the costs. I have learned that

public schooling is cheaper then private. Students would be getting a better value if they attended public schools due to the crazy prices of private school. I support public

schooling because I want to be paying back as little money as I can when I am out of college, rather than hundreds of

dollars a month.
