So glad to see Berea College on that list. Just the opposite of a school that" because they were the places where rich families sent their kids for an education." They have supported some of the poorest students in Appalachia, one of the most under served areas of the country. Glad, but not surprised, to see their students giving back.
And off topic: students run the Boone Tavern, where I had one of the best lunches EVER.

from their site:

Room, Board, and Fees

Berea students and their families are expected to pay what they can afford toward the cost of room, board, and fees. Nearly all of our students receive additional aid and scholarships to assist with these costs due to financial need.

The total costs, before aid, for room, board and fees for 2012-13 are:
expenses cost
Room $3,102 / year
Board $2,864 / year
Fees $ 980 / year
Total $6,946 / year

my note:Most students qualify for full financial aid. No Loans.)
