I lived in Burlington the entire time I was a student at SUNY Plattsburgh. UVM tuition was way out of my range I was new to the area and was considered out of state there or UVM. The tuition was $12,000 or $30,000 respectively. The commute was more than worth the hassle and I received an amazing education in NY

Per year. I'm sure those numbers have doubled at this point...at least.

Shit, I paid $6000/yr for my engineering degree in 2008. That was at a state college in Michigan.

Even in-state tuition at state universities can be as much as $30k/year now.

Ok this prompted me to look it up and actually it's rarely that bad for in state tuition alone, I lied my bad haha. But it's still not good.

It sounds like it is still an order of magnitude more than was I paid 15 years ago

Yes, baby boomers found another way to make money on future generations with no effort on their part. Housing being the other one.
