@f2000sa predictably, the tuition cost at HYP is lower than the rest because they rely less on tuition due to their huge endowments. Also Dartmouth’s endowment per student is significantly higher than the other non-HYP ivies so no wonder it comes in fourth. Penn has the second-highest cost of tuition + fees (and overall cost of attendance) after Columbia.
Tuition + fees only 2017-2018:
Columbia: $57,208
Penn: $53,534
Brown: $53,419
Cornell: $53,211
Dartmouth: $52,950
Yale: $51,400
Princeton: $50,220
Harvard: $48,949
