7 most expensive US colleges
These private institutions of learning cost more to attend for a single year
than many families earn in that time. Here's where sticker prices are the
highest.
No. 7: Fordham University
Location: Bronx, N.Y.
Annual total cost: $58,732
Annual tuition: $40,292
Like that of its Big Apple neighbor, New York University, Fordham's room and
board expenses of $15,000 annually rank among the highest in the country.
And for undergrads, good luck coming up with the cash for a game down the
road at the new Yankee Stadium.
No. 6: Northwestern University
Location: Evanston, Ill.
Annual total cost: $58,829
Annual tuition: $41,893
The Big Ten school sits on 240 acres in suburban Chicago, right by Lake
Michigan. Northwestern's endowment of more than $7 billion stands as one of
the 10 highest in the country.
No. 5: New York University
Location: New York City
Annual total cost: $58,858
Annual tuition: $41,606
Big growth in facilities and a $2.8 billion endowment have transformed New
York University from a decent commuter school into an elite institution over
the past couple of decades. Tuition is comparable to similar schools, but
living in New York costs a lot.
No. 4: Washington University
Location: St. Louis
Annual total cost: $58,901
Annual tuition: $41,992
Fundraising under Chancellor Mark Wrighton, who came over from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1995, has added students,
professors and research, continuing the school's push from regional to
national appeal.
No. 3: Columbia University
Location: New York City
Annual total cost: $59,208
Annual tuition: $45,290
When it's the Ivy League and New York City, it's going to cost a lot.
Undergrads are assured on-campus housing for all four years.
No. 2: University of Chicago
Location: Chicago
Annual total cost: $59,950
Annual tuition: $43,780
Founded in 1890, the research university known for its work in economics
enrolls a relatively small number of undergrads (5,100), about half its grad
student population.
No. 1: Sarah Lawrence College
Location: Bronxville/Yonkers, N.Y.
Annual total cost: $60,116
Annual tuition: $45,212
The small liberal arts school 15 miles from Manhattan boasts personal
attention, with a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9-to-1 for its 1,300
undergrads. |
