How the hell did tuition shoot way the fuck up in just a couple decades? Are boomers to blame for this? The colleges?

Because education is valuable, like real estate or food.

the colleges mostly, they are for-profit and will charge whatever people are willing to pay, demand for admittance is super high and there is tons of available cash thanks to loans and scholarships. It’s a nice racket

It's because government backed loans started being given out to every retard with a high school diploma. Universities and corporations like Sodexo and Pearson siphon so much of that loan money away and now a bunch of millenial sõycuck baristas are demanding that the American taxpayer foot the bill. It's all a massive fucking scam

I went to Penn State in 1991 it was tuition was about $2000/semester.
Dropped out after 2 years and joined the Army. Went back to Penn State in 1997 and tuition was about $3000 per semester.
Just looked at their website and its literally OVER 9000 a fucking semester.
I seriously doubt anyone going there now is getting 3x the value of what I got.

Fuck just looked at room and board rates.
I was paying about $1000 for a dorm room with roommate and a meal plan per semester. The base meal plan always ran out before the end of the semester and you would have to pay a couple hundred bucks extra.
Now its over $3000 for the dorm and $2000 for the meal plan per semester.
That's about $1000/month for a one room dorm with a roomate and communal bathroom. You can rent a nice house for that in most places.
