Why, I remember when Harvard and MIT and Stanford and Bennigton would float to the top of these lists, by cracky...I wonder when GWU first out-charged NYU and Georgetown, and if almost no one pays full tuition at Carnegie-Mellon any longer...
When I see lists like this, I always wonder what the *actual* effective (average) tuition is. The school I attended, DePauw University is somewhere around $44 K, but the last time I saw their financial statements (for 2012-2013), the actual tuition revenue per student was around $19 K. It's sort of the difference between the MSRP for new cars and the actual selling price--there are people who pay the list price, but a lot who pay less.

That's true. A lot of schools have scholarship money to help the students out. But too many people are still running up huge student loan debts.
