I caught this news snippet on Al Jazeera and was blown away by the amounts that US students have to pay for their college (university) tuition. The USD 100,000 + and USD 36,000 plus figures quoted are definitely much higher than tuition in Singapore for the local government funded universities as well as the private ones (e.g. SIM). However, what the US experiences could be what could be a foretaste for us here as I know that a SIM programme with a foreign university that is delivered locally costs close to $9k a year or almost $30k in three years so our costs of university are also creeping up.
Makes you think more about funding your child’s college tuition in the future especially the point made that colleague fee increases outpace inflation.
