Colleges are notorious for hiding what are really tuition hikes in various fees. I'm not saying the health costs doubled or whatever. Just that the methods that colleges employ to get to the real cost of attending are arbitrary.
They try and keep the tuition levels competitive with competing institutions - because that's what Mom and Dad go by. Once students are accepted and kids have gone to orientation, and have established a sense that this is the right school - then.....fee shock! Followed by textbook shock.
