Now I know that's just tuition, not including books and other fees, but it is very close.
I think the majority of parents don't realize that daycare should be their second largest expense, after housing.
Not sure what this means... subsidy as in parents don't pay?
I also think if they are going to make the statement then the cost (of college)should include everything (books and other fees) because if it isn't the FULL cost, then we can compare apples to oranges.
