Princeton Not Quite For The Paupers...But Getting There

But it's true; a survey conducted by north Jersey newspaper, The Star-Ledger, confirmed that the 2007-08 academic year places small town liberal arts Drew University ($34,230) above Princeton ($33,000) as the priciest 4-year college in NJ. Kean University, internationally recognized for its degree program in "Recreation Administration," rounds out the bottom of the list at a yearly tuition of $5,500 prompting this OTR blogger to ask the question:

Just what is a year of college education worth these days?
