Hey everyone, I heard some colleges can cost an arm and a leg. Just out of curiosity, what's the most expensive college in the world? Is the tuition as astronomical as I'm imagining?
As it stands now, the title of the most expensive college in the world typically goes to Pepperdine University, located in Malibu California. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the total cost of attendance (including tuition, fees, room, and board) amounts to just over $95,234.
However, it's important to note that there's a big difference between the sticker price and what students actually pay. So, while the sticker price may sound astronomical, the true cost for many students is often far less. Be sure to consider financial aid prospects when thinking about expensive colleges.
