A single class at NU today costs more than my entire undergrad degree did at public university

did you adjust for inflation? I think fraction or multiple of median income is a better indicator...

There has definitely been inflation but I don’t think that alone accounts for an almost $7000 a credit hour
Not a deep dive just a graybeard observation 😄

Ok you got me curious. The oldest data I found with a lazy Google search is 1994 so rough back of the envelope estimate is that tuition there rose more than 2.25x inflation. I’m sure that’s not perfect but we are in the ballpark
