Like just about everything else in the world today, the cost of a college education continues to rise year on year and is currently increasing at a rate of about 6% a year. So does this mean that it is getting harder to fund a university degree?
Unfortunately this is not an easy question to answer because it depends very much on your own personal circumstances. Most courses for example range from two-year to four-year programs and can be taken in either public universities or private colleges, in or out of state. This means that costs vary widely and can range from under $3,000 to well over $30,000 a year. Depending therefore on your own financial standing, and the assistance which you can call upon from example from within your family, college could be quite affordable or something of a struggle.
