TidyTuesday Week 11: College Tuition

For the first time, I participated in a tidytuesday. To find out more about the idea behind tidytuesday as well as my approach, see here. As a quick summary: Tidytuesday provides each week a new dataset and invites people to visualize the content of this dataset in any way possible (but ideally using the tidyverse). This week’s data came from tuitiontracker.org where I illustrate the average net costs for studying in each US state. The distinction by region indicates that the usual suspects – Northeastern states – appear to be the most expensive, taking into account not only the average tuition fees for all universities but also the costs of living.
