It is getting ridiculous. And part of it is because the government acted as an enabler - they give out loans and the like so the universities were able to keep jacking up the price. With the extra money universities have spent it, heavily. At my alma matter they spent 80+ million redoing a student union building. They are paying a Russian lit professor 250k a year in a satellite campus. That's unusual, but it shows a result of their idiot planning. They hire to many people and pay them too much. And the government kept increasing the loans that made it possible.

Stopping that will be difficult, but it is an important step in getting college cheaper.
