Cornell University's magnificent recently renovated Uris Library and its historic bell tower overlook Lake Cayuga in Ithaca, NY.


Undergraduate tuition each year to attend this wonderful Ivy League school is now over $37,000. With room and board and personal expenses the annual college expense at Cornell approaches $50,000, or even more. Costs at many other private colleges are similar, and these costs will almost certainly increase over time.
