Sarah Lawrence College the most expensive college in the United States

GWU No Longer Most Expensive School in the Country

... it's the second most expensive! Via Consumerist, we learn that Sarah Lawrence College has surpassed George Washington University as the most expensive college in the United States, when combining tuition and room and board. The difference is not just mere pennies, either: Sarah Lawrence now costs $53,166 total for one year, while George Washington runs $50,312. The even bigger drop is in the tuition-only category, which finds GWU knocked down to #6 on the list, while small schools like Bates and Middlebury climbed the ranks. Of course, attending GWU still costs rather a lot of money, no matter how you slice it, but at least it no longer holds the distinction of being the absolute most expensive.
