Colleges with smaller student bodies, a focus on undergraduates, and stellar academic reputations are among the most expensive in Massachusetts, with Amherst College leading the pack, according to a NewBostonPost analysis of federal data.
The total cost of attendance at Amherst was $66,572 last year. In order to provide a complete picture of college costs, the NewBostonPost looked not just at tuition but other costs. The total cost of attendance includes room and board, fees, and even books and supplies. Tuition alone stood at $50,562.
As children head back to school, an increasing number of their homeschooled peers will be starting their academic year as well. Homeschooling in the United States is growing at a strong pace.
