<p>With the expenses of travel (I live quite far away), shipping costs, additional little costs that aren’t publicized, it ends up being more expensive than published… my brother went to college in the northeast a couple years ago and we discovered that there are lots of little costs that add up. Plus, Tufts tuition will continue to rise. In 2008-09, the total cost of going to Tufts was $48,470. Three years later, it is now $54,474. Therefore, I am factoring in the inevitable increase in tuition over the next four years.</p>
