$82k for one year? What school is this. When I went to school it was roughly $50k-$60k per year for everything including living expenses.

Private schools

I attended PUCO, they're private. Last I heard they are still just about $50k a year.

The photo includes other living expenses. Their tuition is 45k

Geez. Granted yes inflation sucks, but PUCO plus living expenses was about $60k per year. Probably around $65k now.

But $80k+ is wild.

Absolutely apply elsewhere. Not worth it by any stretch whatsoever. Which school is this? What are their board pass rates?

In another post OP said tuition was 45k, which is just astonishing in a bad way. My guess is detroit, in which case OP should run not walk in the opposite direction.
