Yuran Kolej Termahal Di dunia.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Harap semuanya sihat-sihat belaka. Ni sedang berhibernasi dalam musim sejuk di Malaysia. Ala-ala winter dah, nasib tak turun salji je. Kalau tak memang tak keluar rumah dah. Berstokin sepanjang masa dalam rumah. Selimut dah jadi pakwe kedua setakat ini. Erm, baru sudah brunch (breakfast + lunch) gara-gara syok sangat tidur, maka bangun lambat. Sejukkkk sangat.

Ok, tadi google kat Yahoo (Google in Yahoo?), terbaca artikel yang menarik, saja jelah nak kongsi pasal yuran-yuran kolej termahal di dunia ni. Jom tengok kat bawah ni. Ambil 5 kolej je. Terfikir juga, yuran sekolah sihir Harry Potter tu mahal ke tak eh? -__-?

1. Sarah Lawrence College 
(Bronxville, N.Y.)

Annual cost: $57,556
Tuition and fees: $43,556
Room and board: $14,000

Located just northeast of New York City, Sarah Lawrence College is America's most expensive school for higher education. Without a waiver, students are charged an additional $1,780 for accident/sickness insurance (not included in our cost estimate). About 65% of SLC students receive financial aid.

2. Columbia University

Annual cost: $54,385

Room and board: $10,572

Columbia's tuition alone ($41,160) is already among the highest in the country, but incoming freshmen at the college also have to pay $2,655 in fees. Students also have to deal with the high cost of living in New York City. About half of all Columbia students receive grants to help pay for their education.

3. Bard College 
(Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y.)

Annual cost: $54,275
Tuition and fees: $42,465

Bard, in New York's Hudson River Valley, provides financial aid to 65% of its students. One program allows eligible students to pay tuition at a rate comparable to a public university in their home states. An affiliated school in Massachusetts, Bard College at Simon's Rock, is also expensive: $53,982 per year.

4. Wesleyan University 
(Middletown, Conn.)

Annual cost: $53,976
Tuition and fees: $42,384
Room and board: $11,592
According to its website, Wesleyan, located on the Connecticut River, "meets the full demonstrated [financial aid] need of those who enroll." Those needs could be large, considering its annual cost. This academic year, the school offered aid packages ranging from $3,500 to $54,600.

5. Vanderbilt University 
(Nashville, Tenn.)

Annual cost: $53,660
Tuition and fees: $40,602

Including personal expenses and books, Vanderbilt estimates the cost of attendance for a first-year student to be $56,634. That doesn't include $1,500 for a laptop computer and $650 in lab fees, both required of engineering students. About 60% of undergrads at Vanderbilt receive financial aid.

Tu dia...terbeliak mata tengok nombor-nombor tu. Bersyukurlah universiti, kolej, institut di negara kita ni tak kenakan bayaran yang mahal-mahal sangat, melainkan kolej swasta, tapi tu pun tak adalah mahal sangat. Tapi kalau yang dah cintakan ilmu ni, bayar berapa pun tak kisah untuk belajarkan? Jangan kedekut nak belanjakan harta untuk ilmu sebab ilmu ni lah penjana harta kita suatu hari nanti.
