What was the average price of college in 1958?

Answer 1

I went to Grand Valley State College, as it was officially titled in 1965. I believe my tuition was for 15 credits a whopping $97. I remember the apartment cost me an additional $140 a term. I was staying in an apt. with three others, and remember my mom and dad gave me $5 a week for groceries and $5 a week for spending money and I always had plenty of money, and plenty to eat. I guess things are a little different today.
