Parents ,in Rappahannock County, who will be sending their offspring to college this fall, are finding the cost to be higher than ever.
A survey of more than a thousand colleges and universities across the country shows that about seven out of every eight have increased their rates, some of them considerably. On the average, the boosts range from $93 for public coeducational colleges to $204 for private women’s colleges. Some have gone up even more than this and some less. The bill that Rappahannock County parents will have to meet this year for tuition, fees and other expenses will be approximately $448,000, it is estimated.
The facts and figures on college enrollments and costs are based upon data compiled by the Department of Commerce, the Life Insurance Agency Management Association and others. They show that the number of college students has been rising sharply in the last few years. More than 8 million are expected this fall, compared with 2.9 million in 1960.
