      Even in the USA it wasn’t that bad 20 years ago. The priciest schools now are just getting there now

        I mean, mine was 65k for a BA 20 years ago, and it wasn’t some Ivy League school.

          I mean, a 30k year in 20 years is a big increase. And plenty of private schools are on par with Ivies in terms of cost
