"Private New England Universities Hit $95,000 Price Tag for College"

Several private colleges in the United States are setting their annual costs for tuition, board, meals, and other expenses at over $90,000, with some reaching as high as $95,000. However, many of these institutions offer generous financial aid, making attendance more affordable for lower-income families. The rollout of a new U.S. Department of Education online form for federal aid has been plagued by delays and glitches, causing anxiety for prospective students. Despite the high costs, experts believe that college can still be a good investment if students borrow in moderation and complete their studies.
