One important factor that students – and their parents – must consider before choosing a college is cost. With annual expenses totaling almost 78,000 U.S. dollars, Harvey Mudd College in California was the most expensive college for the 2021-2022 academic year. There are three major costs of college: tuition, room, and board. The difference in on-campus and off-campus accommodation costs is often negligible, but they can change greatly depending on the college town.

The differences between public and private colleges Public colleges, also called state colleges, are mostly funded by state governments. Private colleges, on the other hand, are not funded by the government but by private donors and endowments. Typically, private institutions are  much more expensive. Public colleges tend to offer different tuition fees for students based on whether they live in-state or out-of-state, while private colleges have the same tuition cost for every student.

Abstract To break with the traditional model of Basic Statistics classes in Higher Education, we sought on Statistical Literacy and Critical Education to develop an activity about graphic interpretation, which took place in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), as a complement to classroom meetings. Twenty-three engineering students from a public higher education institution in Rio de Janeiro took part in the research. Our objective was to analyze elements of graphic comprehension in an activity that consisted of identifying incorrect statistical graphs, conveyed by the media, followed by argumentation and interaction among students about these errors. The main results evidenced that elements of the Graphic Sense were present in the discussions and were the goal of the students' critical analysis. The VLE was responsible for facilitating communication, fostering student participation, and linguistic writing, so the use of digital technologies and activities favored by collaboration and interaction are important for statistical development, but such construction is a gradual process.
