(New College of Florida is one of…) The top 10 most affordable small colleges
Many families assume public colleges and universities are far more affordable than private ones. Turns out, that’s only partly true.
At public, four-year institutions, costs for the 2017-18 school year hit $20,770, according to the College Board. Tuition plus room and board at four-year private universities was much higher: $47,000, on average, in the current academic year.
However, some colleges — both public and private — are making a name for themselves by keeping costs way down and giving students an opportunity to get a small-school experience at a reasonable price.
