Fast forward to the early '90s to a public university. When I started, it was about $996 per quarter. When I left, it was about $1400 per quarter. At that point, the cost actually went down and stayed steady for several years. Now it is $2312 per quarter. Two years ago it was around $1800. The state budget has definitely jacked up the cost but it is still a good deal compared to other public university systems in the country.

When my brother started at the same school in 1982, fees were ~$300 per quarter. When he left, they were ~$600.

> This is one of those dime movie/nickle candy bar things, but having started college in the early 1950's, I had to pay $40 a quarter, or $72 if I stayed in the dorm. After the first quarter I moved to a rented room in town, because the Freshman dorm was such a zoo I couldn't sleep or study.
