<p>Exeter already has it.

Tuition will rise to $41,800 for boarders, a 4.8 percent increase, and to $32,470 for day students, a 5.4-percent boost.

<p>Likely will still be the lowest among peer schools.</p>
<p>They have a huge endowment relative to the others and heavily subsidize their tuition to a larger extent than the others can afford. Taft was $45K and change for this past year. Still worth it given the abyss of a school district my daughter left back home. … sigh</p>

Ditto :(</p>
<p>Even these small increases (about 1800 for Exeter?) must be really tough on those just- barely-able-to-afford-it full pay families.</p>

<p>Ditto. And it’s probably 1800, 3800, 6000, 7300 (+$40k) for a four-year senior.</p>
<p>Besides Exeter and Andover, another peer school that has relatively low tuition is Hotchkiss. The tuition INCLUDING mandatory fees there is $43,500 for 2010. Most other peer schools charge $45,000+ for tuition plus another $1000 or so for mandatory fees.</p>
<p>And to add to the savings at H, I’m pretty sure there is no extra charge for music lessons. That’s another 1500 to 2000.</p>
<p>neato, I do think my friend at H did pay for private music lessons. Am I mistaken?</p>
<p>At DA, if you get FA then extras like music and dance lessons you also get a break. Not free, we are not on 100% FA, but a generous portion is paid by the school. </p>
<p>Its like a ppo, a co-pay is how I look at it.</p>
<p>Right. DA’s tuition is comparable to Hotchkiss’ except it doesn’t include the mandatory fees</p>
<p>kisskob, I was curious so I looked it up. It appears that if you take applied music for credit, there is no additional fee, but if you just audit, there is a fee.</p>
