| Is Chapman University's annual "Undie Run" for fun or do co-eds sell their clothes to afford room and board? |
With 2010-2011 room and board pegged at $13,510, Chapman lands at No. 13 on the top 20 list.
By three measely bucks that amazingly beats out New York University, which--when factoring in tuition and other fees--is the most expensive university in the country.
Attaboy, Panthers!
Among the California campuses Chapman smokes in the ranking are: Harvey Mudd College in Claremont (No. 18) and UC Santa Barbara (No. 20). Meanwhile, UC Berkeley falls at No. 2 (behind Eugene Lang College -- The New School in New York), UC Santa Cruz is No. 6 and UCLA is No. 11.
CampusGrotto reports room and board increased 4.6% at public and 3.9% at private colleges in 2010-2011, with the average costs at $8,535 and $9,700 respectively.
