How much is too much ?

I saw this article on Monday night, and it really made me question, why is the cost of College so expensive. Not only are you paying over thousands of dollars to attend but what about the five hundred plus dollars spent every semester on books for all of these classes? Plus if you live at school, or even commute, the gas money spent driving back and forth ? How much does college really cost?

Just thought it was an interesting article.....

That was very interesting. It is very scary to see how college costs are rising. My children are 6 and 9 and it's allegedly going to cost $250,000 for each of them to attend a private 4 year college when their time comes. I can't imagine how people are going to be able to continue to afford college even with loans and part-time jobs. Even those that manage to get through college will have unbelievable loans when they graduate that will take so long to pay back. It's scary.

Wow! Great article! It goes to show how costly college can get. I currently have student loans and it definitely puts a burden on me because I know when I graduate it will only be the beginning.
