I came across the 2006 Report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. The report, titled "Measuring Up: The National Report Card on Higher Education", gives the percentage of annual family income needed to pay net college costs at public 4 year institutions.
Ohio 42%
New Jersey 37%
Iowa 30%
Oregon 36%
Washington 31%
Illinois 35%

The states were graded as to how much they are trying to help the situation. Here are the results:
California and Utah (rated #1) both get a C
Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, New Jersey and Washington get a D
All the rest get an F

It is clearly seen that higher education is a very costly pursuit today! HomeSchool2C0llege addresses this very issue. Scholarships and grants are the only way many can afford to go to college, but getting awarded those monies is not always easy.
