Good news: while we do have one of the highest tuitions in the country, that does NOT make us the most expensive college to attend, when you lump in room and board. We’re all the way down at #17, so spread the word, and breathe easy.
Here are the top 100 most expensive colleges by total cost for the 2009-2010 school year.
Read the original article: Most Expensive Colleges for 2009-2010. An entire listing of the top 100 can be found by clicking below.
New numbers are in, pasted below. Please review your assignment lists; if you need an excel spreadsheet or want to take on additional names, contact me. Thanks!

Pasted below is a thumbnail sketch of where classes stacked up last year compared to this year (although 2008’s numbers, to be fair, are pulled from 11June, and not 1 June), as well as gifts needed to hit participation goals for each class. Take a look, and use it as motivation to send out those e-mails or make those phone calls.
