Georgetown University has the second most expensive student housing in the nation, according to a new study by Forbes magazine.
The school ranked second out of 450 universities that require freshmen to live on campus.
Freshmen at Georgetown pay $12,750 for room and board. The national average is $8,000, up 11 percent in the last three years, Forbes says.
Sarah Lawrence College in New York City ranked #1, with a room and board pricetag of $13,000.
But Sarah Lawrence residences — many of them former private mansions — are much nicer than Georgetown’s dormitories, “rooms in one of four brick high-rises that resemble the aging, cramped spaces parents may remember from their own college days,” the magazine notes.
