Wes 13th most expensive school

The Consumerist has released its list of the top 25 most expensive colleges for 2008-09, and Wes has dropped out of the top ten! We're currently listed as the 13th most expensive institution in the nation, with our tuition plus room and board summing to an even $49,000. Notably, Wes is fourth in the NESCAC (gee, that sounds familiar), behind Conn. College (5th; $49,385), Bates (6th; $49,350), and Middlebury (10th; $49,210).

The Consumerist: 25 Most Expensive Colleges For 2008-09

Thanks to Diego Glusberg '11 for the tip.

[EDIT by Justin, 2008-10-31] The list originally came from CampusGrotto, not The Consumerist. Thanks to reader Ted Reimers for bringing this to our attention.

@11:01:
that's because the richer colleges don't have to charge as much. Yale or Harvard could let everyone go through free for a decade before they came close to running out of money.
