College bills to rise 8 to 10 percent for next year
The College Board reports college costs will increase eight to ten percent in the new school year, pushing private four year sleep-ins toward $6,082 and public two-year bills to $3,123 for residents. Public two-year costs rise 16 to 20 percent, while commuting students at private two-year colleges face about $4,039. The study notes families pay about 56 percent of bills and warns aid demand will grow as inflation widens the financial gap. A full cost book with 3,200 school data will be published in September.
