A recent TIME article, “Steep Hikes for Many Students,” states that the average tuition at a private, not-for-profit college is $21,949 while the average public university tuition is $6,669. These numbers seem high, and unfortunately continue to rise each year.
The article also lists theĀ 14 universities that have the fastest-growing tuition. Top on the list are George State University and University of Arizona, which are both well above the national average for public universities.
