See the link. It focuses on the most expensive colleges in the country based on tuition in 2013. Here is that list:

1. Landmark College $49,630
2. Columbia University $49,138
3. Sarah Lawrence College $48,696
4. Vassar College $47,890
5. Carnegie Mellon University $47,642
6. University of Chicago $47,514
7. Trinity College $47,510
8. George Washington University $47,343
9. Wesleyan University $47,244
10. Tulane University $46,930

Additionally, the article states the following:

"Public schools generally charge less for tuition than private institutions. The University of Pittsburgh charges in-state residents $17,100 for tuition and fees, and was the most expensive public institution on this year's list. Penn State follows, charging $16,992 a year."

There is nardi's selling point against Penn State. "I have nothing to offer you, but we are more expensive than Penn State. In fact, we are the best public school at being expensive."

On a related note, see the link below. It may have been covered here before, but if not, be prepared to vomit.

If anything good has come out of the Sandusky Scandal it has been the exposure of the inner workings (or lack thereof) of the Board of Trustees, our President, and the rest of our "so called" leadership. For years, most of us sat idly by and basked in the joys of football victories and good national press, while those in power did pretty much whatever they wanted and few of us paid any attention. Those days are gone forever.

It time for the state to cut ties with Pitt, Penn State, Lincoln and Temple. All will survive on their own as private institutions. The state is simply supporting too many Universities and campuses. It just impossible to fund 18 Universities and 55 campuses at a level to provide an affordable education. I would rather them focus on providing a truly affordable education at the 14 SSHE schools.
