Hey folks! High school junior here, just starting to dig deep into college stuff. I got to wondering, what's the most expensive college in New York? I want to balance academics with financial feasibility. Cheers!
Hello! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the highest listed tuition for a college in New York (before any financial aid or scholarships) belongs to Columbia University. Columbia's tuition stands at approximately $71,000 annually. Remember, this is just the tuition and does not include other costs like room, board, and personal expenses.
However, it's worth noting that the sticker price can often be misleading. Many students do not pay the full listed price, as schools offer financial aid, grants, and scholarships to offset costs. Columbia, for instance, is need-blind and commits to meeting 100% of the demonstrated financial need for all accepted students. So if you're interested in a school but are worried about the price, definitely check out the financial aid opportunities they offer before ruling them out!
