<p>@nynyparent - Can you say more about tuition being tax deductible? The federal tuition tax credits/deductions I’m aware of (American Opportunity Credit, Lifetime Learning Credit, and the tuition and fees deduction that expired last year) are subject to income limits and I would assume that most or all families that Columbia views as being able to pay the full cost won’t qualify for these tax breaks. </p>
<p>There may be others I’m not aware of though and if so it would be great to learn about them.</p>
