i remember when i went to college, tuition was actually less than half the total cost. everything else was some kind of fee

I had my full tuition covered but I still had to pay like $1200 per semester in "Student Fees" and then like 10k for "Room and Board" per year.

I wish I had some foresight re: living on campus. i didn't think about living off campus because i didnt have a car, but with that 10k per year I could have gotten my own 1br apartment off campus and a decent car. oooops.

College was fun excuse to live extravagantly on borrowed money, though. Kind of funny how parents encourage their kids to do it.


By extravagantly I just mean drinking, smoking, and having anonymous casual sex.

the total cost per credit to educate students has been flat when adjusted for inflation for decades. states lower funding and tuition jumps up proportionally because you can't just magically expect budgets to deflate overnight. college and universities used to employ armies of unskilled clerical staff to handle admissions and all the other internal bureaucracy stuff. computers came in an automated that mass of people out of a job and in their place are a bunch of computers and IT people who are classified as "administration" making somewhat more individually than the army of grunts were making before them, and the difference gets sucked up in hardware/energy costs and the disproportionally inflated salaries of middle/upper management. everyone should take issue with the last bit but higher ed isn't an idiot money burning factory that you keep making it out to be and the internal waste of higher ed, government, and private sector are all in line with each other when you look at organizations of comparable scale

The president of my university was pulling in 300k and I don't think I ever remember him doing anything except giving a speech at graduation where his main idea was "The job market sucks right now, so even though most of you will remain underemployed you can atleast be proud of the fact that you earned a degree."

the president is the guy who talks to all of the big donors when a frat on campus rapes and alcohol-poisonings its way to the front page. he pulls down big money for a reason.
