While many colleges stymied during COVID and all went to virtual learning, costs rose dramatically. Pre-pandemic, only one school’s yearly cost was above $80,000. In 2020-2021, six schools cracked $80k. This past academic year, there were 28.

For comparison’s sake, a 2023 Jaguar F-Type Convertible will run you $74,675. 74% of colleges and universities in the US raised their tuition rates going into the fall semester, even as the federal government announced sweeping student loan forgiveness to help graduates deal with the considerable cost.

These Are New York's 14 Most Expensive Colleges For 2022

The Business Journals calculated total yearly cost for higher learning across America. Their total cost figures no financial aid, no in-state discounts for public universities, and the cost of books, room, board, and general living expenses.

By far, New York is the country’s the most expensive state for college, with more schools in the top 60 than any other state. We have 14: one in the top five, and three more in the top 20. Massachusetts finished second with 10 colleges in the most expensive 60. This is probably not a distinction to be particularly proud of, but as inflation continues this trend isn’t likely to slow down over the next year.
