Certainly boarding and rooming students has gotten more expensive, but not enough to explain the magnitude of the increase. "Education" as a commodity is hard to peg a worth too. With most commodities, as price goes up, demand goes down. Not sure that's the case with universities. I would be interested to hear the enrollment numbers over that same period where tuition costs have gone up 750%. I bet they rose. So what's to be said about a commodity who's demand goes UP, when it's price goes UP? What would a free market say about such a commodity? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:351937 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
