Narrowly missing the cut, but rounding out the Top 20 most expensive colleges:
- Northwestern University
- University of Chicago
- Wellesley College
- Oberlin College
- Sarah Lawrence College
- Dartmouth College
- University of Rochester
- John Hopkins University
- Claremont McKenna College
- Barnard College
All have something in common: tuition & fees are $60k or more. That means a 4-year cost of $240k or higher, and again not counting room & board, books, etc. Can costs go any higher?
