Would you spend $55,000 a year to go to college? A whopping 74 colleges now charge more than $55,000 a year (compared to just 19 last year).
The Daily crunched numbers earlier this year and found that if college prices keep rising at the same average rate, the Class of 2034 could face sticker prices of $81,000 for a four-year education at a public school and $232,000 for four years at a private university.
