"Richer" Colleges?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm having a really hard time wording this... but... what colleges have a student population more representative of the upper middle class, to rich class? I'm not saying there shouldn't be people with scholarships, or financial aid that attend these colleges, but they should be in the minority....</p>

<p>Besides the IVY League, what colleges do rich people send there kids to?</p>

<p>*I have my reasons for needing this information... (not because I am, or am not rich, but I have other reasons...)</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>IPEDS has information on the % of students receiving aid and the average amount of aid. Subtract the product of those two variables from the total COA and you can see how much an average student actually spends. Anywhere over $30k must have at least some affluent kids.</p>

<p>Same heist?</p>

<p>If judging by tuition NYU would be way up their tuition is very high. I hear Boston College, Vanderbuilt, Bently, & Lehigh.</p>

<p>Private schools tend to have the more wealthier students.</p>

<p>here’s a list <a href=“http://www.campusgrotto.com/colleges-with-the-highest-total-cost.html[/url]”>http://www.campusgrotto.com/colleges-with-the-highest-total-cost.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>usually higher tuition leads to a more affluent student population.</p>

<p>I see. I never would have thought of those calculations.</p>

<p>Thank You for the list as well.</p>

<p>So $30,000 (after everything is said and done) is the benchmark for affluence right?</p>

<p>i would add BU & USC. not sure what kind of list, exactly, i’m adding this to, lol. but, watevs.</p>

No. It’s a completely arbitrary figure. I do think that most schools where an average student pays $30k have at least some rich students.</p>

<p>By the way, toxic93’s figures are not the same as mine. I’m referring to average cost after aid, which is different. While Princeton and WUSTL have rack rates within ~$2k, your average Princeton student pays ~$7k less.</p>

<p>I feel like the Top 20s that are not Ivies/HYPMS (not that M seems to have all the great FA in my experience) might have higher percentages of well off students, simply because they can’t offer the FA that Harvard can. I know people who can’t afford Northwestern. I’ve never heard of people not being able to afford Harvard.</p>

<p>So, a high tuition with a not so great FA population might be a better indication of a well-off student population than a super-elite status.</p>
