College tuitions rise again

Average published tuition prices rose, as expected, across all types of colleges this year, says a report out Tuesday. But increases, particularly at public four-year colleges, were “lower than we might have feared” given the economy, the author says. And when grant aid and tax benefits are factored in and after adjusting for inflation, the average price residents pay for public four-year colleges is actually lower than it was five years ago.
