Abstract

Americans are concerned about the price of college. About three quarters of Americans believe that college is not affordable for everyone who needs it (Lumina Foundation and Gallup 2016). This report updates previous studies of college prices (Radwin and Wei 2015, Wei 2010) by examining multiple measures of the price of college attendance for students in the 2015–16 school year.
