Average folks have to sell organs to pay for kids college cost But also there should be mutiny for uncontrolled tuition hikes. I payed $265 dollars a quarter at AUM in 1983. My daughters tuition was $6000 a semester at AUM last year.


Nope, just moved my daughter to Auburn. Dorm is about $7000 per year and food plan is $2000 per year. Now the newest fanciest dorm (Donahue, the Athletic dorm) runs about $10k per year so still doesn't approach $18000.
