...The vast majority of schools that rank as the most expensive in their state are private schools. While many of these are liberal arts colleges, a number of institutions on this list are art schools or music conservatories. Though these schools cost tens of thousands of dollars per year, those with fine arts degrees tend to earn much less than those with other types of college education. These are the college majors that pay off the least.
Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken ranks as the most expensive school in New Jersey by over $7,000. It offers majors in engineering, science, and business. Students receiving aid pay an average of $40,770 for tuition, books, room and board, minus any financial aid.
Stevens Institute of Technology students have among the best standardized test scores of any college in the country. The typical student has an SAT score of 1405, combining reading and math scores, and the typical composite ACT score is 32.
To identify the most expensive college in every state, 24/7 Wall St. used data from the National Center for Education Statistics to rank all bachelor's degree-granting schools based on net price -- the annual cost of tuition, books, room and board, minus any financial aid -- for full-time, first-time degree-seeking undergraduates students who received grant or scholarship aid for the 2018-19 school year. This is the most expensive college in every state...

Well, rich dilettante kids need to have somewhere to go to school. Then they can have something to talk about when they’re not posting anti-vaxxer diatribes.🤗
That $40,000 price tag must be for one semester, not the whole year. It was $30,000/year back in the 1980s when I was accepted there.
You ever notice the Marxists will constantly harp on about forgiving student debt, but they will never ever talk about tuition price gouging. Same with Republicans. Never any talk about dragging a college President in front of Congress and have him explain why he is making $6 million a year while tax money get thrown at these indoctrination centers and tuition continues to skyrocket.
Yeah..Northwest College of Art for OREGONE....figures
Since when is Puerto Rico a state? At least they left out D.C.
Not so! Princeton tuition over $50K.

A good friend of mine has a daughter who excelled in high school chemistry. But she’s going to college to be a pastry chef. How many well-paying pastry chef jobs open up every year? There can’t be many.
Oh, well. But I guess I’m in for some nice pastries next time I visit them.
(They used a bogus “net cost” for those receiving aid criterion.)
I graduated from there in 1973. Stevens is one of the few schools where the cost is worth it in the long run, but dang 5K per year back then.
The costs on that chart are average net costs, after financial aid. The sticker price at Stevens is $54,014, Princeton is $52,800.
Princeton has very aggressive financial aid. The university itself only provides grants, not loans.
Princeton has more financial aid. If this study counts loans as financial aid to deduct from the final price, it is bogus.
Pretty much all the Ivy League offer de facto if not outright free rides for the minority of their students who qualify for aid based on need.
I always thought it would be cool if they changed the name to Stevens Hoboken Institute of Technology, just for the shirts.
On the 70s/80s cusp over here and it was routine for kids to be financially on their own once they graduated high school. If they couldn’t afford a private school, there was your state university. And to make that cheaper still, getting your first couple of years of credits at a community college.
Moreover, there was taking a couple of courses or so while working fulltime for three semesters a year. Some students went with workstudy and loans, more with grants of some type.
We really need to get back to that, with the federal government out of funding (yes, goodbye Pell grants), ASAP.
That’s bogus re: Stevens. Only 6% of students supposedly pay full tuition—and they are essentially buying their entrance.
Check out their graduate tuition, which is just $38K.
You are right, of course. My father had high expectations of me as I was already going to prep school (which DID have real financial aid) and scored well on PSAT/SAT. In that milieu it was assumed that you went to the most selective school that accepted you. U of Chicago also did not accept most outside credits, certainly not from a community college. I did get some credits for a 5 in AP History though.
