Sixty grand per year at most private schools (and out-of-state public schools). That's three times more than my entire degree cost in Canada circa 1990. The four year cost is 12x what I paid.
The sense of entitlement that emanates from the "higher echelons" of academia has been fueled by decades of spiraling tuition fees eagerly paid by stooge alumni besotted with their school sports teams. Essentially an entire generation of salesmen Lost Boys.
The college experience has devolved into a non-stop drunken frat party interspersed with frantic episodes of rote memorization. Clever dunces are graduating by the thousands...

"One in four women are sexually assaulted on campus (most do not report it). Alcohol (AND date rape drugs) are usually always involved."
"College rape victims receive external physical injuries in over 47% of all rapes."
Date rape drugs are RAMPANT on campus. Which is what all of the denialist fucktards don't want to admit.
That's why the official rape statistics are vastly under-reported. According to the one in four statistic above (which is based upon surveys not crime stats), the rate of rape on campus is up to 10x higher than in the general population. However, because it's underreported, it allows the denialists to claim 'hoax' and undue hysteria. Clearly if someone cannot recall the specific events of the night before, they will be hesitant to report "what happened". In many cases they wouldn't even know who raped them.
There is a new documentary out called 'Hunting Ground' on this very topic. I can't watch it since my daughter has one year left before college. Here's the key quote:
"With frat houses being what one interviewee describes as "unregulated bars," sometimes serving doctored alcohol, "Hunting Ground" reports that fraternity men are three times more likely than other men to commit rape. But a confluence of financial factors apparently makes these institutions all but untouchable."
For those outside the U.S.:
The "strict" 21 age limit for drinking only applies to kids off campus.
It's just a total fucking hypocrisy, accepted by everyone
Why is openly rampant underage binge drinking tolerated and encouraged on college campuses but nowhere else? Is that because the relatively privileged few who can go to college deserve a totally different set of laws than apply to the same age kids living off campus? Kids have come to see college as four years of unsupervised binge drinking based upon a privileged set of rules. And then they pass that same fucked up ethos onto their kids. It's all in good fun, for those who can afford it.
Here is the problem, right here:
We have a society run by and for elitist frat-boy pricks who've had it far too easy for far too long. Nothing will get better until they are taken down several notches and develop a sense of humility. And we all know how that's going to happen.
In the meantime, we will continue this current College "system" also known as mutual assured bankruptcy, by which a college degree now has a return on investment so deeply negative you'd have to live 400 years to pay it off.
One in four parents spends $60k per year to have their daughter raped by entitled frat boys. That's the state of 'higher education' today.
