<p>For the record, this figure is a bit misleading. Middlebury has a comprehensive fee that includes tuition and room + board. As a residential college, Middlebury expects students to live on campus for all four years. If students choose not to live on campus, they are given a refund. This estimate of tution is the comprehensive fee minus the refund, which is kept intentionally small in order to encourage students to live on campus. Middlebury’s comprehensive fee last year placed it at #24 on the overall list. This year, the college limited the increase in the comprehensive fee to one percentage point above the Consumer Price Index.</p>
