The CollegeBoard has released the findings of a study that investigated the cost of a college education in the United States.  The study considered several factors:  tuition, books, fees,  housing – including food.  The report noted that college prices have been rising more rapidly than the prices of other goods and services over the last three decades and that “the increasing economic inequality in the United States over recent decades has exacerbated the difficulty in paying for college for many students, in addition to straining federal, state, and institutional budgets.”
