I'm a junior looking at different colleges and have a fondness for Catholic schools. Unfortunately, I'm on a pretty tight budget. Does anyone know which is the most expensive Catholic college in the US? I want to know my 'ceiling' when planning ahead.
The most expensive Catholic college in the United States is typically Georgetown University, located in Washington, DC. As of the current academic year, the total cost of attendance (including tuition, room and board, fees, and indirect expenses like books and transportation) is around $88,782 per year.
This figure, however, shouldn't necessarily deter you. Georgetown, like many private universities, commits to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need, and they have a strong financial aid program. You should use Georgetown's net price calculator to get an estimate tailored to your financial situation. If you intend to apply for financial aid, the cost for you could be significantly lower than the sticker price.'
So, while planning for college expenses, it's important to also consider financial aid opportunities and not just look at the raw tuition prices. Some of the most expensive schools end up being more affordable because of generous aid packages.
