I am writing a letter to my state governor, and I would like to know what tuition was like back in the early 80s. I am having trouble coming up with any numbers. Specifically, our governor attended the University of Minnesota Law School between '81 and '84.
Even if you attended a different college or university back then, what was tuition like? Please let me know what type of college you attended (public 4 yr, private 4 yr, public 2 yr) and an estimate of what the cost was....
THANKS!!!

I paid in-state tuition at the Univ. of Ga. in from 82-84. I recall my payments being somewhere between $250-350 per 12-week quarter (UGA was one of the last major universities to convert to the semester system in the late 1990's, although its Law and Vet Med schools went to semesters in the mid-1980's)

Small private college in VA was $8,000 in '81-'82, went up to about $10,000 over the 4 years. That includes room and board, not books etc.
