Prices seem to vary, however the average seems to be 40 thousand dollars for a associates degree at a private institution. 10k or less at a community college. Now things get tricky for Bachelor degrees. I'm using the Art Institutes as an example because of personal experience. The price essentially doubles when going up to a Bachelors Degree. So that 40k turns into 80k. Also with the AI, in particular mine, they also offer housing. This is where the real scam is, because that also doubles the price. For example, housing for the AI is 10k+ for a year, so if you're there for 4 years getting a Bachelors degree, your spending 120k to attend school. And the kicker is, they conveniently let you borrow loans for every single fee except the application fee you use to apply. So upwards of 150k to never make more than $25 an hour in your lifetime. I don't care what anyone tells you, but attending any culinary school that isn't apart of a state university or community college is financially the worst possible thing you could ever do in your entire life. Period. Don't even consider going to a LCB, AI, CIA, anything that is above 15k is financial suicide.
