the average US public university is about $11,700 for tuition. that doesn't count room and board if you are staying in a dorm in campus. private universities are much more.
This is per year. And most degrees are 4 years, though it's not uncommon for them to run to 5. So by the time a student graduates they have on average ~$37k in debt.
For the 2023-2024 school year, the average cost of attending college in the US is $23,630
