Reality check!
College education is NOT CHEAP!
It’s very very expensive.
How expensive?
How about…
$3,440/year for Public 2 year college if you live within district.
$9,410/year for Public 4 year college if you are in-state student.
$23,890/year for Public 4 year college if you are out-of-state student.
$32,410/year for Private 4 year college.
Those are average figures.
For UNCC (University of North Carolina, Charlotte)…
It’s between $13,846 to $22,974 if you are North Carolina Residents.
If you are NOT NC Resident, it will run you $27,017 to $36,996
You have to pay that much every year.
You can see for yourself, if you like.
For Duke University?
About $70,092 if you add everything.
Harvard Cost about same as Duke.
Here are few more…
Princeton – $58,965
Yale – $63,970
MIT – $61,030
Stanford – $62,801
Cornell – $63,606
