Oh, here are the numbers (adjust for inflation):
44K per year when I went there
80K per year now
Who can afford this!?!?!?

The cost of university/college these days is INSANE.
Just during the span of my time attending a public state-affiliated university the cost went up just over 15k per year between my first and last year.
I was fortunate to escape with very little in the way of student loans but others are not so lucky. At least with the school I went to, it's 90% STEM types so almost everybody is able to get a higher than average paying job.
