"College costs are soaring. In fact, the average cost increase over the last five years has been about 6-7 percent per year. Currently, The College Board reports the 2005-06 national average cost for a four-year public college or university is $15,566 per year; for a four-year private college or university it is $31,916 per year." 1 1 Source: The College Board, Trends in College Pricing 2005 |
