I'll take your word over mine, since you're an actual student. But, are you including instruments and other stuff in that 70k. The ADEA book has it as follows: tuition $56.8k, fees $2k, books/instruments $10k (and living expenses $18k). I was just giving the bare bones tuition cost. I was told to expect to pay about mid $90k a year in total, which is quite startling.
