One popular item: Cost-comparison sheet

Crowds filled the entryway of the Education Building this morning.

One more day left, and the education building is crowded with visitors. While some people grab Minnesota State Colleges and Universities gold pencils, others snatch up our gold cost comparison sheets! When considering college, the cost comparison sheet highlights the tuition cost per year for all of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities compared to University of Minnesota as well as private colleges. Rising tuition costs have been a hot topic for many students and parents, some wondering how they can afford an education. To the surprise of many visitors, our system offers tuition ranging from two-year colleges ($4,100 to $4,909) to four-year universities ($5,473 to $6,756).

A fairgoer checks out the system's college cost comparison sheet.
