That's a great graphic on the cost of college over the years.

I swear I've made a hundred or so comments here on Medium describing how much my humble state university in Illinois has gone up in tuition costs since 1976. when I paid a little under $400 for a semester. Today that same state university is $16,000.

State universities in California used to be FREE for CA residents.

Note the beginning of your graph. 1980

The year Reagan was elected.

Great story, thanks
