What You Paid Then, and What They’re Paying Now

Earlier this month, I looked at what I paid as a freshman in college, and compared it to what college freshman at my alma mater are paying today. I had to dig into my college’s archives to see what tuition and fees were when I was 18, but thanks to WNYC’s widget, you can just plug in your school and whatever year you’d like to look at. Who’s looking forward to having a kid and calculating what college will cost him or her?
