What's the most expensive undergraduate college globally?

For the sake of knowledge, I'd love to know which college holds the title of 'most expensive undergraduate college worldwide'? Any information would be useful.

Sure, the college that currently holds the distinction of being the most expensive for undergraduate tuition is the University of Chicago in the United States. The tuition fee for the 2024-2025 academic year is approximately $67,446, but the overall cost of attendance rises above $90,000 when you factor in room and board, books, personal expenses, and other fees.

However, it's important to note that the sticker price doesn't always match what students pay. The University of Chicago, like many expensive, high-profile institutions, has a generous financial aid program that can significantly offset the cost of attending for students who demonstrate financial need. For instance, families with incomes below $125,000 per year receive full tuition scholarships from the University of Chicago.

Researching a school's financial aid policies is very essential when you're considering colleges. Don't be immediately deterred by a high sticker price, as you might be eligible for financial aid that can bring your actual cost down.
