The Hidden Costs of College



Infographics are neat visual ways to communicate a lot of information and data in a concise manner. TeacherAde finds the best ones on the web that deal with education and shares a new one once a month. You can find all of the infographics on the Resources page and under Infographics.


In this infographic we look at the hidden costs of college! I chose this for teachers and students alike, who are contemplating more school, because I believe it is effective in giving a reality check on the cost of an education. These hidden fees are why there is now more college loan debt than credit card debt in america.

I wanted to highlight it because this problem largely goes unnoticed (or at least unstressed) similar to the problems with our eating habits. We realize the problem exists but we are hesitant to take action.
