We all know that college in the United States is expensive. I mean, really expensive. And no one can *actually* afford it, right? RIGHT?!?!? Please say yes. We decided to see just what all you could buy with the money you spent on college.
The average tuition cost of public institutions is $9,139 per year, without room and board. But unfortunately, most of us attend for more than one year. For the money you spend on one year of college you could also buy the following:
3. The cost to professionally publish a book.
4. At least 3 acres of open land in Los Angeles.
5. An all-inclusive five-night vacation in Jamaica for two...8 times.
6. Two houses in Detroit.
7. Three pre-owned boats.
8. At least 70 shares in Apple.*
9. Three diamond Tiffany & Co. engagement rings.
10. A five-month trip around the world.
But not all of us go to a public institution. Therefore, the average tuition cost of private nonprofit institution is $31,231, excluding room and board. For the money you spend on one year of school you could also buy the following:
11. A three-bedroom, three-bathroom condo in the Virgin Islands.
12. A Canadian island.
13. A four-bedroom home in South Dakota.
14. Or, a three-bedroom home in Buffalo.
15. Approximately 15 brand-new 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops.
16. About four acres of farmland.
17. Your dream wedding.
18. A yellow gold and diamond Rolex watch.
19. And about 9 months of rent in a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan near the East Village.
Just remember...we're all in this together.
