College is expensive.
Even a year at Christendom, tuition, room, and board, is $24,000 per year. It’s just not tough to run up the debt.
Even state schools have gotten more expensive. Here in Maryland, the University of Maryland, College Park, is about $17,000 for tuition, room, and board for IN-STATE students! My understanding is that freshmen are required to live on campus.
