You're right, not quite 50K, but close. Also keep in mind that AU does not even come close to meeting full need. As comparison:
SCHOOLS CONSIDERED FAR BETTER THAN AU:
Columbia 43016
Rice 43790
Princeton 43980
PEER SCHOOLS (USNEWS as a reference--these are the five private schools closest to AU in the US News rankings just as a reference point)
Marquette 35150
Saint Louis University 39190
Baylor 35472
University of Denver 43480
Clark University 40400
Those are just a few I happened to check. My point is that AU costs about the same as a top-tier university and a good deal more than a typical second-tier university (its peer schools). |
