What's in the Top 100 Most Expensive Colleges in the U.S.?

Hey guys, just another junior with a burning question here. I was wondering if anyone had a link to a comprehensive list or some resources where I could check out the top 100 most expensive colleges in the United States? Appreciate any help here, thanks!

Hello! While I don't have a direct link or list to provide, you can easily find this information by researching schools' official websites or using online college search tools that allow you to filter or sort by tuition and fees. Many educational resources publish rankings lists of the most expensive colleges based on overall cost (tuition, fees, room/board), including the likes of U.S. News, Forbes, or College Factual.

Do keep in mind that the "sticker price" of a college can be somewhat misleading since it typically doesn't factor in financial aid awards or scholarships. Just because a college is listed as one of the most expensive doesn't mean all students pay that full amount. Always check the net price—the cost after factoring in financial aid—rather than going by the sticker price alone.

For a rough idea, some of the colleges often noted as being among the most expensive include the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Columbia University, New York University, and Claremont McKenna College. Yet, many of these institutions offer substantial need-based aid.

I recommend you research costs at each individual institution you are interested in and use their net price calculators to get a clearer picture of what attending might cost.
