Note: I did not make this graph. I found it on r/premed and figured you guys would be interested.

Private school tuition inflation >> state school tuition inflation, and the top 20 schools are fairly stable in ranking are the two takeaways I got from this.

Aldo this was definitely made with ggplot2, once again showing why ggplot2 is a great graphics package

Ew no

Straightforward would be something like this:

and color/size is just not a great way to convey those other data, the straightforward approach would be just a table for that

Don't get me wrong I always enjoy this kind of stuff...it's just not nearly as easy to read as a nice table you can scan along with exact values

I might rebuild the above table for 2007-2017 if webarchive goes that far back actually

It definitely does. I made a similar table going back to 2003 for a set of arbitrary schools I was interested in.
