Are the college expenses for tuition/fees and room/board found on world news report accurate?

Question

looking at them i thought a few of the colleges were more expensive than what they're listed as.

Answer 1

No.  The prices they list are from 1-2 yrs prior.  College tuition/fees + room/board can increase an average of a few grand per year.  So if you see a price listing, assume that the tuition costs for the following schoolyear will be a little higher.
