What is the most expensive college in the U.S.? The overall number of higher education institutions in the U.S. totals around 4,000, and California is the state with the most. One important factor that students – and their parents – must consider before choosing a college is cost. With annual expenses totaling almost 78,000 U.S. dollars, Harvey Mudd College in California was the most expensive college for the 2021-2022 academic year. There are three major costs of college: tuition, room, and board. The difference in on-campus and off-campus accommodation costs is often negligible, but they can change greatly depending on the college town.

The differences between public and private colleges Public colleges, also called state colleges, are mostly funded by state governments. Private colleges, on the other hand, are not funded by the government but by private donors and endowments. Typically, private institutions are  much more expensive. Public colleges tend to offer different tuition fees for students based on whether they live in-state or out-of-state, while private colleges have the same tuition cost for every student.

The overall university enrollment rate stood at around 75 percent in 2024. Education in South Korea The education landscape in South Korea has been significantly influenced by the country's rapid economic growth following the Korean War (1950-1953). During this time, education became a cornerstone for societal development, and South Koreans began to view access to quality education as vital for personal and professional advancement. This emphasis on education has resulted in South Korea having the highest proportion of tertiary-educated people in the world. A degree from a prestigious university is often seen as essential, impacting further career opportunities, and even social status. Competitiveness and social pressure The pursuit of an academic degree in South Korea is largely influenced by external pressures rather than internal motivations. Students face intense competition to gain admission to prestigious universities. This competitive environment fosters a culture of rigorous study and preparation, with many students attending regular classes during the day and going to hagwons (private tutoring institutions) in the evenings and even on weekends. The alarmingly high suicide rate among young people in South Korea is an indication of the intense pressure and competition they face during their education.
