    Although this university is on the pricey end, it is absolutely worth it in the end. Graduating with a degree from Wake Forest University rivals some of the IV league colleges, as we are known nation-wide for our high academic standards.

    It's a great school, don't get me wrong, but I could not see myself spending nearly $60,000 on any school. I came in with scholarships and aid, so I feel like the price I'm paying for is worth it.

    Extremely expensive, school is hard, and not everyone gets B's. You're paying for Wake Forest University on your diploma, but the experience is amazing and most of the time it is worth it.

    As an international student, I pay the full fee and it legitimately doesn't feel like the school deserves to be paid so much per head. The facilities are meticulous but for top-notch university with some functional flaws, it could run just as well on $45000 as opposed to $60000.
