America's Most Expensive Colleges

College graduates today face a dismal job market and often carry with them thousands of dollars in student loan debt. And yet, the price tag for a year's worth of study at America's most expensive colleges is close to $60,000. Overall, tuition costs at private colleges are up 4.5% since last year. For the 2010-2011 school year, Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., charges undergraduates $57,556 for tuition, fees, room and board, making it the most expensive school in the country. That doesn't include books, personal expenses or the $1,780 the school charges for accident and sickness insurance, which students must buy unless they have a waiver. It also doesn't include financial aid, which about 65% of all Sarah Lawrence students receive.
