"Rising College Costs: Approaching $100,000 Per Year for Some Students"
TL;DR Summary
Vanderbilt University has quoted its cost of attendance at nearly $100,000 a year for some students, including room, board, personal expenses, and a high-end laptop. This high cost is an anomaly, but a few dozen other selective colleges may reach this threshold soon. The average list price for tuition, fees, housing, and food at private nonprofit four-year schools was $56,190, and $24,030 for in-state students at public colleges in 2023-24. However, many students do not pay the full list price due to receiving grant aid, with a significant percentage paying nothing for tuition and fees.
