Anyhow, not sure how reliable the source but it’s the Mac Weekly so I assume reliable?

That figure was what I got from my folks when Macalester did not ask me to return after my freshman year. In the intervening years, besides not having the internet to do research, I had no reason to doubt the figure.
I know they did take out a loan. I don't know if it included other costs, such as transportation. I paid for my own books, which were less than $200 for the year.
Given your figures, it points out even more how college costs have increased.
Thanks for the info
