Every year, 400,000 qualified students choose not to attend college because it’s too expensive. And if there’s any question why, you needn’t look any further than a College Board report that was released recently on rising tuition rates.

The findings were bleak: The list price at the average public, four-year university rose by 6.6 percent this year, bringing in-state tuition and fees to an average of $6,185. Students at private, four-year universities felt a smaller, but still significant jump with tuition up 5.5 percent to an average $23,712.
