Sad but true |
Vassar is 75k next year (or was pre-covid?) |
Especially the non-Wellesley/Barnard ones. Smith, MoHo, and Bryan Mawr are nothing like the used to be. |
Columbia and Barnard were 78 this year |
Disagree. They are great places to be an interested, curious student. |
Well, the two kids I know there are getting great educations and are happy. |
Almost all the SLACs. GO to the "cost of attending" page and add everything up. My Slac is now $83K a year. This doesn't pertain to instate schools. |
| Northewestern for example. $78 plus change. If you add on the $4K health policy, which most students have to do, it's $82K+. https://undergradaid.northwestern.edu/aid-basics-eligibility/cost-of-attendance.html |
“Almost all the SLACs” is just an absurd statement. |
Do they know about Moody's downgrading the campus financial picture to a negative last December? The endowment is too small to make it through Covid. |
They maybe getting a great education, but those schools are not as sought after as they once were, which will affect their viability long-term. |
Do you mean above the top 20? My kid’s school went from just over 100 to just over 80... so that is moving in the right direction, according to the original question |

At the tippy top privates, only about half of the kids are paying sticker price. |
| Harvey Mudd = over $80K. And don't give me the "well the 'average' students pays ___ line If your EFC is high, you are going to pay full freight, as we did". "https://www.hmc.edu/admission/afford/cost-of-attendance/ |
