<p>My friend's parents (both alumni of GW) said that the tuition is the most expensive in the country. Is that true? It's been driving me crazy...that can't be right...</p>
<p>Yes it is true. Look online.</p>
<p>Yes it is, it has been in the news a lot lately. If you are living on campus, the total cost will be around $50,000 a year!!!! Tuition alone is like $39,000</p>
<p>I read that since there is fixed tuition, GWU doesn't end up being the most expensive cumulatively - around the 9th instead after four years.</p>
<p>Yep, GW does have fixed tuition, so you may get the initial sticker price shock. The program definitely has it benefits.</p>
<p>I think if your thing is politics, law and government, the level of internships is worth the cost. Plus if you're a smart cookie, you'll probably get some merit aid to offset the tuition. At least that is what we're hoping. ;D</p>
<p>My son is a political junkie (watches CNN and C-Span for fun), and spending the day at GWU was like going to Disneyland for him. He really liked it, and I hope it works out for him. We could never afford the full tuition.</p>
<p>wow. so the rumors are true. kind of...haha</p>
<p>Others will probably go higher - they just haven't announced their price increases yet. George Washington was just the first one to do it.</p>
<p>i think it's closer to $60,000. even with a fixed plan, without aid, i don't think it's a deal. can someone's non-fixed school costs go up by the $20,000 or so difference /year over 4 years??</p>
<p>happycolleemom, where did you get the $60K figure? According to the website, tuition+room+board is $50K and change.</p>
<p>As for tuition, I must say our S paid just a little over what he would have paid to our state school, so we thought they were pretty generous with grant money.</p>
