According to CollegeBoard, the average annual cost to attend a private university is $31,231, $9,139 for an in-state public university, and $22,958 to attend an out of state public college.

Room and board make up a lot of the annual cost of attendance. But instead of paying for a tiny dorm and overpriced textbooks, just buy a private island!
