we paid $24k/yr putting ours through Clemson. Now I realize what a bargain that was. Didn't seem like it at the time.

15K for University of Louisville. Not a bad deal in comparison.

That increase isn't too horrible in the grand scheme of things, I guess.

A lot, although I think the stat they throw around is that "50+%" of the students receive some form of financial aid. I think they include $1k scholarships, which are drops in the ocean
