The opportunity cost of going to college for this term, assuming that my food and apartment rent are the same with college as without it is  $7,000

Opportunity cost is an economic term for expressing cost in terms of foregone alternative. It is what has to be given up in order to have an alternative.

With regards to the above, opportunity cost would mean any income sacrificed by the college students because he wanted to take a college education.

Opportunity cost

= Before the college, he could make - Switching work hours for study, he will now make

= $10,000 - $3,000

= $7,000

Hence, the opportunity cost of going to college would be  $7,000
