College Tuition

Michigan has annual in-state college tuition of nearly $16,000 for one academic year. If you look at Michigan as compared to other states, the Mitten is the 22nd most expensive state to attend college but at the same time the 31st most affordable to attend college.

You would think the University of Michigan would be the most expensive but they are not. Actually, Kalamazoo College has the highest tuition of any university in the state averaging just under $54,000 a year to attend.

Tuition-Free College

Former presidential candidate and current U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders talked about tuition-free college. You may or may not agree with his ideas but at least he said it out loud and some colleges have found ways to actually make tuition lower and some tuition free.

The tuition-free model is available to in-state students only with families with incomes of $70,000 or less.
