    Washington University is very expensive, however, they are very generous with need-based financial aid and will meet all demonstrated need.

    This is a very expensive school. However, it will give you a great education and a fun experience with good people. One thing to keep in mind is that not as many people have heard of it, particularly west of the Mississippi river. It would be most helpful to go here if you were interested in one of the majors or areas of study that the school is known for.

    While WashU seems expensive, they will work with you to make sure you can afford it, and you really see where your money goes when you attend. So many things are offered free, and the college tries to spend the money on the students.

    Private college is very expensive; if you just go to school for an education, you're wasting your money.
