Why college sticker prices stay high while most families pay far less
You find a college you like, click to the tuition page and see a number that can make a family wince. For most first-year students, it is not the price they will actually pay.
TL;DR
- College tuition pages often display high numbers that can deter families.
- The sticker price of tuition is not typically what most first-year students end up paying.
- There is a discrepancy between the advertised cost and the actual amount paid for college.
