ELI5: Why college tuition costs continue to increase at such a fast pace?

Thanks in advance!

Like most questions of the form "why does X cost what it costs" the answer is generally "supply and demand".

Basically, schools can charge more without significantly lowering the amount of students who attend, so they will.  The reason this is the cast is partially because they know the government will loan more to cover the increase in price, and also because a college education has become a standard requirement for a working professional.  This makes demand very high.
