<p>from today's dartmouth online, on ivy league price hikes:</p>

<p>"Among other Ivy League universities, Columbia University ranks highest in total cost, as tuition, fees, room and board will total $42,584, a 5.0 percent increase from last year. Cornell University will raise its costs by the lowest percentage, raising fees $41,767, a 4.3 increase; Brown University $41,770, a 4.9 percent increase from last year; Harvard University $41,675, a 4.5 percent increase; the University of Pennsylvania will cost $41,766, a 5.4 percent increase; Princeton University costs the least at $40,213, after raising its fees 5 percent; and Yale University will charge $41,000 -- the 5.5 percent increase is the largest percentage increase in fees."</p>

<p>The best school is the cheapest school</p>

<p>Classic Princeton</p>

<p>couldn't've said it better, King! </p>

<p>Hehe, and just the other day, I ran into another person who had that conception of Pton as being "for the rich kids.".</p>

6

<p>cough...40 grand aint for the poor</p>

7

<p>lol</p>

<p>though understandably Columbia has to charge more for living in NYC. The rent here is O.o</p>

8

<p>How come on my financial aid package, it said that the total cost of attending Princeton is $44,000?</p>

9

<p>well, the dartmouth article defines costs to include "tuition, room, board and mandatory fees." princeton probably adds estimated costs for books and travel to get the $44,000 in your aid package.</p>

10

<p>Oooooo Ok. I'm sooo waiting for a certain someone to comment on this.</p>

11

<p>Lol ivyboy05, so am I.</p>

12

<p>inopa - i think the person implied that pton was moreso a rich kids school than any other ivy league/ big name school.</p>

13

<p>They calculate personal expenses into tuition costs.</p>

14

<p>mea - that might have been implied. Luckily, the sign of a great institution is the capacity to grow and adapt without jettisoning core values.</p>

15

<p>If you're poor Princeton's cheap :D</p>

16

<p>maybe he-who-must-not-be-named actually has something to do on a Thursday night!!!</p>

17

<p>it's like Harry Potter! Haha. You-Know-Who. Perhaps he should be called Voldemort from now on, since Princeton is Hogwarts, after all.</p>

18

<p>Oooh ooh when does that come out?</p>

19

<p>haha. this <em>He who shall not be named</em> aka Voldemort business is hilarious! Zante - I think it's coming out next week.</p>
