U Mass has high tuition, too. They fool people by stating a "tuition" amount that is low, but you actually pay about 7K in fees in addition to the "tuition," which is the real tuition.
I went to ASU when it cost 130.00 a semester for in state students! I think my first Master's degree cost me less than 1500.00. However, I didn't think that U of A's prices were that high for out of state students. My younger son went there for a year, and I think the tuition was only about 5K more than we were paying for the other one at U Mass as an in state student. It was also much less than CU for an out of state student.
It's all relative. Most of my friends paid 40-50K a year to send their kids to college and for some (Tufts, BU), that was just the tuition, not including room and board.
