    If you've acquired some interest in this school towards the middle of this review and decided to check out the website, you may have seen that Bard may just be one of the most expensive schools in the country. Nevertheless, it is worth it. Very worth it. Bard offers very generous financial aid, including a full tuition scholarships which is about three-fourths the cost. By the way, Bard students walk away with much experience that makes them well-rounded learners.

    Expensive, but great with financial aid and definitely worth every penny. They really want to help their students with all their endeavors, so if you have an idea and need funding, you will likely be in luck.

    Many people end up leaving because they can't afford it, not because they don't love it. There are many instances of I'm paying 60,000 for THIS? but it really is an awesome and beautiful place with unique opportunites

    Bard is very overpriced. It is one of the most expensive schools in the country and has nothing to show for it.

    I received a lot of financial aid from the school, so don't be afraid to just try applying anyway, even though there's a huge price tag.
