avg U.S. college semester is ~ 14-16 weeks, including testing. We'll call it 16 for some easy math.
16/4 = 4 months * 2 semesters/yr = 8 months.
We are naively assuming that semesters don't include test-weeks or other vacations and that all 16 weeks are education-filled.
Pricing for a college education [1] in-state public college avg ~22k private college avg ~44k
44k/8 months = $5500/mo
22k/8 months = ~$2750/mo
20k/6 months = ~$3333/mo
Pricing seems about right for a low end year of college.
