15. Why Are Colleges Getting So Expensive?

          This article was  presented by the atlantic in a video response to the question "Why Are Colleges Getting So Expensive?" they make an analogy answering that is it a vague question such as asking "What does food taste like?" There are 6900 colleges in America, from many varieties, college isn't as expensive as we think. The average cost of a college is 3000 per year but prices are constantly increasing. Tuition and fees have doubled from the past years, in small public colleges to ivy league schools the prices vary. The state support has gone down lately so price increased. Most research colleges are spending more money in entertainment and expecting us to pay up for it. So prices are increasing because of colleges making improvements in infrastructure and research and in research. As years go buy we are paying more.
          Derek Thompson the author of this post by the atlantic uses an not frequent way to express his research. With a short introductory paragraph followed by a video he answers the question "Why Are Colleges Getting So Expensive?" Thompson is direct to the point and breaks the beliefs and taboos of the "cliche question." Than he goes off telling the reasons that colleges are becoming more and more expensive these years, and the differences between small and big college prices. In his video he could provide more graphs and statistics, so his project earns more credibility. His concluding thought is accurate and says exactly was is happening with the prices of tuition in college.
