Harvard Tops the College Pecking Order

Tuition and fees for undergraduates at select Universities for the 2010-2011 academic year.

School	Cost
Harvard	$50,724
Stanford	$50,576
MIT	$50,446
Yale	$49,800
Princeton	$48,580

These schools all maintain a commitment to need-based financial aid and provide access to load programs, so out-of-pocket cost is less for most students. Still, multiply those numbers by four years and that's a lot of pecking.
