This is not uncommon for private dental schools, but very concerning. I am using the example as out of state as more schools, undergrad, grad and professional schools are accepting out of state students to help their bottom line.

Out of State: For four years using 2014-2015 budgets, not including cost increases which are already being discussed for next year as are for all schools, and especially not including interest on the debt while in school: $486,190.00

I share your concern.

It's even worse at private schools:

Now, imagine that you have 20-50K of undergrad loans.

The numbers are sick.
