Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] The Average Cost of Attending College in Each US State by malxredleader

I think the private colleges are skewing the data for these states. I graduated from Iowa State in 2020 and my costs were nowhere near what is shown on this map.

These aren't tuition costs, they are the cost of everything you need while going to school including your car, housing, etc. It's a ridiculous graph to try and inflate the numbers.

Yes, I understand that and my costs were still nowhere near these numbers

Yeah with room, board and all costs in the last few years I think I spent like 30k for a full year at iowa. It’s really skewed by our private schools
