The cost to attend this coming fall will be $100,541.

“That includes direct costs of $92,440—which covers undergraduate tuition, housing, fees and meals—plus indirect costs, such as books, personal expenses, travel, transportation, and optional health insurance. Wellesley now appears to be the most expensive college in the country,” reports Inside Higher Ed.

Locally, Brown University, which increased tuition nearly 5% this year, is now more than $92,000 a year.

Wellesley’s alumni include former First Lady Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and journalist Cokie Roberts.
