Latest I've heard is that it's $70K for full cost at top private schools next year. (That includes schools like BU, NYU and USC. not just the Ivy's.) That is tuition, fee's and room & board. This doesn't count books, supplies, or transportation costs or other miscellaneous costs.

Not all private schools cost that much. And as HK said in-state Universities can still run 30-35K. It's not just the private schools where the cost of attending has gone up exponentially.
