My Alma matter, also a regional university charges 47k a year in tuition.

Assuming I take 12 classes a year and my classes average 15 students each, that puts the cost of providing a single class at $58,750.

What the heck is going on for universities to have such an insane cost structure.



$250,000 per year administrators, $30 million dollar buildings and "lazy rivers". If we had a statistic for what percentage of your buildings were for academic usage, you'd find the amount is low.

"Paying for the Party" is a neat book here based on real life information from colleges.
