The World’s Most Expensive Universities

In Pictures: The World’s Most Expensive Universities //

This may surprise you: The world’s most expensive universities are not haute institutions in the Swiss Alps or on the balmy shores of the Persian Gulf. Nor are they the Ivy League citadels of America’s elite like Harvard or Princeton, or ancient halls of learning like Cambridge or Oxford in the United Kingdom.

No, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the most expensive four-year university in the U.S. (and most likely the world) is Washington, D.C.’s George Washington University, with a price tag of $39,240 in 2007-2008. Rounding out the top five: Ohio’s Kenyon College ($38,140), Bucknell University in Pennsylvania ($38,134) and Vassar College ($38,115) and Sarah Lawrence College ($38,090), both in New York. All private, all selective and all extremely pricey–and that’s before room, board and books are factored in.

Those costs reflect a trend among private American universities–charge a stratospheric tuition fee, then offer a generous financial aid package. A GW official says the university provides the most need-based aid in the country, according to national rankings. For this year’s freshman class, that package was an average of $23,466. Next month, the school’s new president is expected to announce a plan for improving affordability at GW.

In Pictures: The World’s Most Expensive Universities

“The cost of obtaining a U.S. degree is among the highest in the world and rising, which may discourage international students,” says a 2007 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Globally, the average cost of a public education in the U.S. ($4,587) was second only to Australia ($5,289) in 2003-2004, the years surveyed for the study. For private education, the U.S. schools have the highest average price tags.
Of course, the affordability of an education all depends on how much income one brings home. In Western Europe, where most universities are heavily subsidized by national governments, the price can appear astoundingly cheap. Even at Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom, a student’s contribution toward tuition is capped at 3,070 British pounds annually. The average cost of public higher education in Spain was only about $800 just five years ago, according to the GAO. But it’s worth noting that Europeans pay higher income taxes than Americans to pay for these and other social services.

Private universities in Europe can be as pricey as their U.S. counterparts. One example: The American University of Paris, just around the block from the Eiffel Tower, which charges 23,784 euros ($34,725 USD) annually for tuition and fees. Not good news for its U.S. students, which comprise 35% of the student population, as the dollar has fallen sharply against the euro in the past year. To be sure, there are indeed some pricey Swiss schools, like Franklin College near the Italian border, where tuition and fees are $30,860.

In many former communist countries, particularly in Eastern Europe and Africa, governments offer a “dual-track” tuition policy, where tuition is provided free to the nation’s top students but a fee is charged to everyone else. The alliance between student unions and far-left political parties in those countries makes governments terrified of tuition fees.

In general, tuition fees at non-U.S. private universities are below $10,000 per year. Some exceptions:

In Japan, where some of the best undergraduate programs are found at national universities (costing about $7,500 USD per year), top-rated private schools typically base their tuition on one’s major. At Tokyo’s Aoyama Gakuin, an educational institute founded in 1874 by Methodist Episcopal missionaries, tuition ranges from $11,700 to $16,100 annually.

Canada’s Quest University, which opened last September, charges $24,000 Canadian dollars ($23,420 USD) annually for an alternative-style education where students study just one subject at time for 18-day “blocks.”

In the U.K., the University of Buckingham, which claims to be the only university in the country that does not receive government aid, tuition fees are tiered and an undergraduate degree is packed into two years. All told, a Buckingham education costs 15,500 pounds ($30,400 USD) for British students and 27,000 pounds ($52,800) for international students. It’s got prestige, though: former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was a Buckingham chancellor.

Just as private U.S. universities are the world’s most expensive, American-style universities abroad fetch top-dollar tuition fees. One such is the American University of Sharjah, founded in 1997. It’s a sign of globalization in the Persian Gulf region, with a wide range of degrees–from architecture to business–with all courses taught in English.

So what are beleaguered students and their parents to make of such high tuition fees? Take heart: Paying top dollar gets you a good education, but there are always attractive and far cheaper publicly funded alternatives available.

One thing to note: We excluded junior colleges and schools serving a particular need from our list. Had we included them, Vermont’s Landmark College ($41,275 per year), which caters to students with learning disabilities, would have been first. Texas Culinary Academy ($38,850 annually) would have ranked third.

Bill Gates

rumahnya dr satelite..

Percaya ga, mungkin gila tpi ini adalah salah satu kamarnya..

Kekayaan Bill Gates dalam hitungan……

Salah satu sumber dengan teliti mencoba untuk menggambarkan seberapa kaya Bill Gates

- Sejak Microsoft berdiri tahun 1975, dengan asumsi Bill Gates bekerja 14 jam tiap hari kerja maka pendapatannya ialah 300 USD setiap DETIKNYA….. Pendapatannya dalam rupiah ialah : 1 detik = 2,5 juta ; 1 menit = 153 juta ; 1 jam = 9,1 milyar ; 1 hari = 220 milyar ; 1 minggu = 1,54 triliun ; 1 bulan = 6,1 triliun ; 1 tahun = 74 triliun.

- Dengan tingkat suku bunga bank sekitar 5 % / tahun, maka Bill Gates akan mendapat bunga 300 milyar tiap bulannya ( dipotong biaya admin sekitar Rp. 5000 tentunya ^0^ ) ( di buku rekening rasanya harus 2 baris tuh ngeprint saldonya ~_~- )

- Dengan perhitungan diatas, maka Bill Gates hanya butuh waktu kurang dari 1 detik untuk membeli sebuah Xbox atau PS2, atau sekitar 3 detik, maka ia akan mendapat Xbox, PS2, Gamecube lengkap dengan Televisinya… Untuk memboyong sebuah mobil kijang, dia hanya butuh waktu 80 detik. Mungkin dia bisa berbasa-basi ngobrol dengan SPG nya selama 80 detik sambil menunggu penghasilannya mencapai 200 juta rupiah.

- Tiket pesawat Boeing 747-400 sekitar USD 1200 ( sekitar Rp. 10 juta ), Bill Gates mampu membeli 261 PESAWATNYA, bukan TIKETNYA…..

- Jika Bill Gates pergi ke rental multiplayer dengan tarif sektiar 5000 / jam, maka dengan seluruh uangnya dapat bermain selama kurang lebih 77625 abad.

- Jika harga majalah GameStation sekitar Rp. 20.000, maka Bill mampu beli sebanyak 17 milyar examplar. ( kantornya aja kebeli kali… ) Harga ini juga relatif sama dengan harga cd bajakan, jadi Bill bisa membeli 17 milyar keping cd.

- Bill dapat membeli 133 milyar Windows XP Professional yang harganya 300 dollar.

- Pesawat ulang alik NASA kurang lebih seharga 1,7 milyar dolar ( 14,5 triliun rp ). Bill Gates bisa membeli 23 buah dan masih menyisahkan 7,6 triliun rp.

- Film TITANIC menelan biaya 200 juta dolar, Bill Gates mampu membuatnya 200 kali…

- Berinternet dengan Telkomnet Instan, dengan tarif sekitar Rp. 10000 / jam, maka Bill Gates bisa berinternet 38812 abad NON-STOP

- Dengan menggunakan uang pecahan 5 US Dolar, kekayaan Bill Gates bisa menutupi Manhattan, New York.

- Bila menggunakan uang pecahan 1 US dolar, dengan uang sebanyak punya Bill Gates bisa menyambung lembaran uang tersebut sepanjang 8x jarak bumi ke bulan. Kalau dengan uang pecahan 1000 rp, maka bisa sepanjang 68x jarak bumi ke bulan.

- Jumlah penduduk bumi 17 Maret 2003 ialah 6,280,902,951. Bill bisa memberi kurang lebih Rp. 54000 untuk tiap orang dan masih menyisahkan 831 milyar rp untuk dirinya sendiri dan keluarganya.

- Roman Abramovic, raja minyak Rusia yang membeli Chelsea, memiliki kekayaan sekitar 5,7 milyar dolar ( sekitar 48,5 triliun rp ). Kekayaan Bill Gates kurang lebih 7x Roman. Jadi jika Bill membeli sebuah klub bola, dia bisa belanja 7x lebih banyak dari Roman. Analoginya jika Chelsea belanja 100 juta dolar untuk beli pemain, maka klub yang dibeli Bill Gates akan belanja 700 juta dolar, cukup untuk membuat klub yang pemainnya SEMUANYA sekelas Zidane, Figo, Ferdinand, Ronaldo, dsb….

Rumah Bill Gates di Seattle, dibangun diatas tanah 5 hektar dan menelan 53 juta dolar. Dalam rumah tersebut terdapat 7 kamar tidur, 24 kamar mandi dengan 10 diantaranya sangat mewah, 6 dapur, 6 fireplace, bioskop, perpustakaan, ruang bermain keluarga, fasilitas kesehatan yang lebih bagus daripada yang biasa terdapat di club-club. Ruang bioskop sebesar 1500 sq feet dengan 20 tempat duduk dan mesin popcorn. Kolam renang indoor yang dilengkapi dengan underwater music system. Rumah tersebut tentunya dilengkapi dengan komputerisasi yang amat canggih, banyak kabel fiber optik bertebaran.

Bill Gates menjadi orang sekaya itu bukanlah tanpa usaha, mungkin kita bisa berkata,… wah !! dia sungguh beruntung, kebiasaan kita ialah jika melihat orang lain kaya, kita hanya memikirkan kekayaannya saja, tidak pernah memikirkan bagaimana usahanya. Bill Gates hanya tidur 8 jam dalam seminggu saat ia mengembangkan Windows untuk pertama kalinya. Usaha dan kerja kerasnyalah yang menyebabkan dia menjadi sangat berkecukupan, bukanlah keberuntungan semata
