Top 5 America's Most Expensive College Dorms


No. 1 The New School
Location:
The New School is based in New York and is divided into seven colleges, including the New School for Social Research and Parsons, which aspiring fashionistas will recognize from the television series "Project Runaway."
It has five dormitories, including in lower Manhattan, the East Village and Chelsea. Room and board at the 13th Street location costs $18,080, making it the most expensive college dormitory in the U.S.
Attending the school gives students an opportunity to take courses that they likely couldn’t take at other schools, such as "Genre: The Road Movie," "Tabloidization: Reputation and the Attention Economy" and "Georges Bataille - Sex, Death, and Religion."



No. 2 New York University
Location: New York City
Like so many other things in the Big Apple, New York University isn’t cheap. Tuition per semester is $19,672, and room and board is $15,181. However, this is a relative bargain, compared with the rent that anyone else would pay to live with one roommate in the heart of Greenwich Village.
NYU has multiple locations throughout the city, including one in Brooklyn. It also has centers in Paris, Shanghai and Tel Aviv, and it opened a campus in Abu Dhabi in 2010



No. 3 Fordham University - Lincoln Center
Location: New York City
Fordham University students who want to be where the action is can live at McMahon Hall near Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Undergraduate students are still subject to the same $39,235 tuition fee for the year as students at Rose Hill. At $15,000, room and board is only $75 higher than Rose Hill’s.
That $75 buys quite a bit. The campus is just minutes from Central Park and a couple of subway stops from every cultural attraction that midtown Manhattan has to offer. And then there’s Lincoln Center, a stone’s throw away.



No. 4 Fordham University - Rose Hill
Location:
Fordham University’s Rose Hill campus is in the North Bronx. For the academic year, full-time undergraduates pay $39,235 for tuition.
The Rose Hill campus covers 85 acres and is "one of the biggest privately owned green spaces in New York City," according to CampusGrotto.com. In addition to this campus, Fordham operates two others in New York state, one in China and one in London.



No. 5 St. John's University
Location:
St. John’s is a private university founded in 1870. It was originally in Brooklyn but moved to its current location in Queens in the 1950s. Undergraduate tuition is $33,125 for the academic year.
Alumni include former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel. The school provides students with free or low-cost tickets to Broadway shows, museums and even Yankees games.
