In state tuition is 45k a year. Regardless of if the US economy is in a bad state US colleges can charge a huge amount to US students because the US govt is willing to offer huge student loans.

And that's yet another horrible part of the problem. Loans and grants don't help make tuition and the general cost of an education reasonable. They have an inflationary effect because people are chasing that degree rather than a reasonable ROI.

Big 10 universities are ~$15,000 a year for in state tuition (for undergraduates). They include excellent research schools.

What schools are you pricing there?

Ah I was going from this website:

Can't seem to find anything on mit's website other than something that gives 46k as the average for undergrads

MIT is a private school so it doesn't really have in state tuition.
