<p>Which private colleges have the lowest standard tuition rates?</p>
<p>BYU (10 chars)</p>
<p>Yes, and generally those that are lower-ranked also have lower tuition. However, they may not offer the best aid.</p>
<p>If you want a good college you’re not going to find anything below thirty thousand. Public universities, or a good scholarship, are going to be your best bet.</p>
<p>Baylor, BYU, U Dallas, Hendrix, Elon, Kalamazoo, Rice to name a few.</p>
<p>NYU</p>
<p>… oh wait.</p>
<p>You shouldn’t be asking which school is cheapest, but which school will be the cheapest for you if you include financial aid. Most private schools have great financial aid programs. Some have both need and merit based. First, find schools you are interested in (if you know you want private, you already have a great start). Then worry about financial aid.</p>
<p>Cheapest after aid is likely to be Harvard.</p>
<p>If you can be among the 9% who applied who are selected.</p>
<p>I’m going to Vanderbilt in the fall and they gave me a need-based award that covered all of my tuition and then some. I imagine I’ll get even more aid starting fall 2010 when my sibling goes to college.</p>
<p>I know their 100% need program is great because 1) they don’t use loans to cover “need”; only grants are used and 2) They don’t just use hard-costs when coming up with COA to determine your need - they try and account for books and whatnot, meaning if you’re sufficiently poor enough (or at least your parents are…), then they will actually pay for EVERYTHING and pay you a check that will probably handle the rest of your expenses. I’m not sure if Harvard is that generous, and even if it is, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t offer merit awards, when many other private schools do.</p>
<p>In regards to the OP, I believe Pensacola Christian College has really cheap room and board. That being said, very few of their programs are accredited by a source that has been approved by the Department of Education, so unless you’re planning on going to the ministry or teaching at a Christian school or something, I wouldn’t go there.</p>
<p>Definitely not tufts. So retardedly overpriced</p>
<p>Where’d you hear about Pensacola Christian College? It doesn’t seem to be on most people’s radar ;)</p>
<p>D’Youville College. If you have an 86 high school average and a 23 on the ACT they’ll give you 25% off the tuition and 50% off room and board for all 4 years. Tuition is like $19,000 and room and board is like $9,000. If you have higher stats, they’ll bump up your scholarship to 50% off tuition.</p>
<p>My parents wanted me to go to PCC because they homeschooled me with the A Beka curriculum. Plus I live in Florida.</p>
<p>Just tell them you’ve found Satan</p>
