There will be close to 160 in the contingent from the local area this year, as against 70 in 1960.
For those who are going to state colleges, the median cost will be $1,293 for those residing in the state and $1,940 for non-residents, according to the findings.
At private co-educational colleges, the median this year is $2,672, or $200 more than in 1970. Some charge considerably more than this and some quite a bit less.
Not included in these amounts are the outlays for such necessities as books, clothes, transportation and incidentals. All told, to send a youngster to a private college this year might cost a family as much as $3,500 or more. At a publicly-supported college it will run to about $2,100, on average. The toal cost of $448,000 facing Rappahannock County families with college-bound children assumes that half of the students will be going to state colleges and half to private ones.
It is not only the students and their families who are feeling the financial pinch. The colleges themselves are hardpressed for funds because of their own skyrocketing costs. Some, in fact, have had to close their doors.
