Yup. It was still cheap(ish) (for state school) in the 90s, but by that time, 20ish years later, it was 10 times what you paid. Another 20 years after that, it was 10 times that again. That's just for tuition. Housing and meals have gone up the same 2000%.

It started in the 70s, but was blamed on the same inflation as everything else was experiencing after going off the gold standard in 72. Except school, housing costs (all housing), automobiles, and medical care all increased by much larger percentages than everything else (bread, pants, etc.), becoming multiples of the inflationary index, both acting as "luxury products" from an economics view, and being called "essential" in the propaganda and law.
