NEW BRUNSWICK — Tuition and fees for Rutgers University's undergraduate students in New Brunswick will increase 1.7 percent, or about $241 this fall, the lowest price hike in five years at New Jersey's state university.

Under the plan approved by the Rutgers' Board of Governors on Wednesday, the average in-state undergraduate on the New Brunswick campus will pay $14,372 in annual tuition and fees in 2016-2017.

The university is also raising the price tag for room and board by 1.7 percent. With room and board considered, the average undergraduate from New Jersey on the New Brunswick campus will see a total bill of $26,632, or $447 more than last year.

Good.

Nothing wrong with fleecing idiots out of money and giving them an inferior product if they are willing to pay for it.

Sadly it’s coming out of our pockets most likely.

How possibly could it cost so much a month for room and board? The tuition alone is complete nonsense. Add the ridiculous cost of $12,000 a year for room and board for essentially eight months a year and one could believe that they are fleecing people.

$1,500 a month is lots of cash for a crappy, cramped room that includes a mystery room mate and institutional food.

Tuition was $1k a semester in the late 80s when I was there.

Looked at Rutgers, my Mother was a graduate of New Jersey College for Women, Baseball coach a grad. Too local for me and I chose out of state. Good choice for me. Those costs are still low compared to a private college.

I was expecting it to cost a ton more. Indiana a RED state will cost us 24,000 a year for University of Indiana Bloomington when our son starts this month. I am shocked it costs so low to be honest (Rutgers).

Rutgers still has to traffic foreigners here to fill the seats; it isn’t easy to get in. They probably make a lot more money from the foreigners as opposed to in-state residents.
