I really do feel for you guys who came in right around that time. That's when the s--- hit the fan in college tuition. There's no way tuition should have ever erupted to that in that short of time frame. I remember in the news there was a lot of talk how tuition was going up in $5k increments every single year, not just at UT but all over.
For comparison, my Mom graduated from Ashland University (then Ashland College) in 1972. Her tuition including room and board was $850/yr.
The trend is unsustainable for our country.
