High Tuition Colleges

Hey guys. I'm on a quest for information, and I'm wondering, which colleges cost at least $75,000 a year to attend? I've heard about schools that are super expensive, but not sure which these actually are. Any ideas?

While considering costs, it's essential to keep in mind that the "sticker price" isn't what every student ends up paying due to the availability of financial aid, scholarships, grants, and work-study opportunities. However, sticking to your query, some universities that are known to have high tuition and total costs are:

1. University of Chicago: The total cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, room, and board, can exceed $90,000 per year.

2. Columbia University: The total cost of attendance here is also over $90,000 per year, inclusive of tuition, fees, room, and board.

3. Harvey Mudd College: Known for its strong programs in engineering, this institution has a total annual cost of over $90,000.

4. Northwestern University: This university's cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, adds up to approximately $94,000 annually.

5. New York University: NYU is another institution with a high cost of attendance, reaching around $95,000 annually inclusive of tuition, fees, room, and board.

6. Duke University: Here, the total cost of attendance per year can go upwards of $86,000, including tuition, room, and board, and other expenses.

Remember that these prices are pre-financial aid and scholarship consideration. After you take those into account, the net price -- what you would actually pay -- often comes down significantly. Many of these schools offer generous aid packages. Also, these prices often include living costs and other expenses, so the tuition fees alone would be lower.
