How much does a typical undergraduate (4 year) degree cost these days? Just an average (inc. room an

It is scary from what some of my friends are telling me it is costing them to put their kids through college....and I don%26#039;t have one yet. So, in say, 18 years...I wonder what it will cost. Damn, that is a frightening prospect.

I kind of have an idea of what mine cost almost 15 years ago, (around $15,000/year I think) but my parents were so good to me and took out the loans and paid them back too. Now, grad school that was a different story. I will probably be retired before I get those get paid off....ugh.

I just sent my daughter to college (Colorado State University). She%26#039;s enrolled as %26quot;out of state%26quot;. It%26#039;s $16,000 a year for tuition and about $7,500 a year for room and board.... it ain%26#039;t cheap, but if the student works hard and makes something of his or her self... it%26#039;s worth every penny to the parent...

For my undergrad, I went to a 4-yr jesuit university. It was about 28k per yr in tuition, and probably around 8-10k per yr for room/board. But, I got a lot of merit aid and federal loans/grants, so i only ended up having to pay about 10 or 12k per yr, usually in loans.

Unfortunately, my generation, I%26#039;m 22, has become the debt generation. Our parents were either denied the opportunity to attend the college of their choice, or had the philosophy %26quot;go whereever you want, whatever the price%26quot;.

Don%26#039;t try putting your kids through college if it will cause you to go completely broke. My mother can%26#039;t even think of saving for retirement she took out so many PLUS loans for my sisters and myself.
