Here’s how much college tuition costs have soared in each state over the last decade - Jillian Berman, Market Watch
Over the past decade the burden of paying for college has shifted more towards students and families. New research indicates exactly how much. Between 2008 and 2017, the average cost of attending a four-year public college went up in every state, even adjusting for inflation, according to a report released this week by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a progressive think tank. In Arizona, which saw the largest increase, the price for a year of college went up $5,217 during that period — a jump of about 90%. In Montana, which saw the smallest increase, the price went up $272 or 4.4%.
