MIT Is a College Bargain. NYU, Not So Much.

You probably won’t be surprised to learn that graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology make more money than those of any other top US university — with those receiving federal student aid earning a median income 10 years after starting college of $124,213 a year. More surprising may be that, for those receiving federal aid, MIT is among the least expensive of American universities, costing an average of just $5,084 a year with living costs, books and supplies included.
