<p>I don’t think it takes an econ major to realize that exponential growth and inflation is not compatible with a stable economic environment and it’s only a matter of time until the entire economy collapses and you have to start from scratch. And no amount of tax money given to corporate CEO’s will stop this.</p>
<p>Public: I expect a small dollar increase - the expectation was a large dollar increase but Federal Stimulus dollars will whittle the increase down considerably to the point where the increase in one of the college tax credits will actually decrease net costs for us.</p>
<p>I think you can put NYU down for about 4.9% based on tuition and fees for next year that I’ve seen posted on their website. haven’t gotten an official letter, but I did the math and 4.9% is about it</p>
<p>I see none of the previous posts are factoring increases in “fees” and other mandated costs. Colleges hide increases in true the CoA in other expense lines in order to fraudulently claim a lower that actual increase in their true CoA figure.</p>
<p>toblin, good point. About 5 years ago my friend told that her son needed to add 1000 in food costs ($500 per semester). Everything was ala carte without an all you can eat option, and he could not feed himself on the meal plan without adding more money (not accounted for in COA).</p>
<p>Dorms at NYU cost from 8711 to more than 13000 and most non-freshman don’t do a meal plan. The NYU number is ONLY tuition and fees, because trying to factor in the differences in room/board costs is not feasible because of the myriad of options. Dear Lord, when my son’s lottery time comes to pick, please Lord, let there be a room for 8711 left to pick.</p>
<p>I’m interested in some of the top publics around the nation as to their tuition increases. It seems the privates are fairly reasonable except I understand tht 3% of 30,000 is alot of $$! UW went up 7%, possibly 10-14%, hasn’t been decided yet. Not bad for in-staters but not good for OOS.</p>
<p>Publics can receive stimulus monies but it’s up to the Governors and State Legislatures to determine the amount. It may be that the exact figure won’t be known until budgets are finalized and passed.</p>
<p>Tulane’s total increase (tuition, fees, room, board, etc) is +4.65% . Looking at just the 2009-2010 tuition increase alone compared to the 2008-2009 tuition, this is an increase of 4.79% (separated out, the other fees, room, board, etc., are up 4.25%). Which number do I add to the table? Tuition (4.79) or total increase (4.65)?</p>
