Here’s What One Student’s Tuition at an Ivy League School Can Buy

Education is costly, but a good education from the top universities in the U.S. will make your jaw drop. Turns out that the most expensive ivy league education can cost $63,000 a year – that’s $252,000 for all four years.

In case you’re wondering what you can do with a quarter of a million dollars – that is, if you took the tuition of a Harvard, Yale, or Princeton undergrad and made it rain off-campus – here’s a little perspective on what you can afford.

A Lamborghini

Riding. in. style.

48,000 Grande Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Because you can never get enough of Fall at Starbucks…

4 of these fire-breathing, remote-controlled dragons.

Why four of these toys cost almost as much as the Lamborghini, we’ll never know.

Super bowl tickets for you and your entire Chem 101 Lecture.

Or you and 105 of your closest friends…

A trip around the world in this first class suite…4 times.

Kay.

Four nights in one of the world’s most expensive hotel rooms, the Shahi Mahal Suite in Jaipur, India.

There is nothing even remotely casual about this palace…

So to all our students lucky enough to attend Ivy League schools: make the most of it! You have a unique opportunity to learn as much as you can from some of the top professors and resources the world has to offer. Whether you attend thought-provoking talks outside of lecture, take on tons of extracurriculars, study abroad, or start your own student organization on campus, make sure that when you’re ready to graduate, you’ve taken full advantage of your school. Oh, and if you’re looking for a way to stomach the cost of your tuition, get hired on WayUp.
