Most expensive colleges in Pennsylvania?

So guys, I'm from Pennsylvania and I want to stick around the state for college but on a budget. Can anyone help me with the most expensive ones to avoid? Realizing that college isn't as affordable as I once thought.

Sure, I can list a few of the colleges in Pennsylvania with higher tuition fees.

1. University of Pennsylvania (UPenn): Being an Ivy League, UPenn tends to be on the more expensive side.

2. Carnegie Mellon University: Known especially for its programs in the sciences and fine arts, Carnegie Mellon's tuition fees tend to be on the higher end as well.

3. Bucknell University: This is a private liberal arts school with a higher price tag.

4. Lehigh University: Another private institution known for its engineering and business programs, which also tends to have higher tuition fees.

5. Haverford College: A small liberal arts college, yet the tuition can be on the higher side.

Remember, the "sticker price" you often see doesn't always reflect what you'll pay out-of-pocket. Many schools offer generous financial aid packages that can substantially lower the cost. If there's a college on this list that you're interested in, I encourage you to check out their Net Price Calculator. This is an online tool that can give you a personalized estimate of what you would actually pay after accounting for financial aid. While these colleges might have higher list prices, they also might have more financial aid available, so don't be immediately put off by the sticker price.
