College by the Numbers
A Statistical Look at College Costs, Financial Aid and More
College costs continue to climb, though at a slower pace.
Average published tuition and fees for in-state students at public four-year colleges rose 2.9% in the 2013-2014 academic year, the smallest percentage increase in more than 30 years, according to the most recent data available from the College Board.
That's down from a gain of 4.5% in 2012-2013 and 8.5% in 2011-2012. Out-of-state costs were up 3.1% in 2013-14, while tuition and fees at private, nonprofit schools increased 3.8%.
To help pay those college bills, about two-thirds of full-time students received grant aid, according to the College Board.
Here is a look at some of the numbers affecting students and their families.
