Question

tuition As she happily flipped through her college catalogs, her parents sat quietly but uneasily calculating the total tuition costs. tjuˈɪʃən

Accepted Answer

(1) The act of teaching; instruction. (2) The cost of or payment for instruction. The sense of tuition meaning “teaching” or “instruction” is mostly used in Britain today. In the U.S., tuition almost always means the costs charged by a school, college, or university for that teaching. Those costs have tended to rise at an alarming rate in recent years. Around 2010 a student could receive a four-year college education (tuition, room, and board) at an inexpensive public university for less than $50,000, but might have to pay more than $200,000 at an expensive private college or university
