Trinity College to Charge $71,660 Next Year

Next year, Trinity College students will be charged $71,660 for tuition, room and board and fees — making it likely to be the most expensive college in the state and the first Connecticut school to pass the $70,000 mark. While the hike is only by $2,690 crossing that $70,000 threshold comes with more sticker shock for many.
“Of course, this is all psychological, I mean $70,000 as opposed to $69,000,” said Sandy Baum, an expert on college financing and a fellow at the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C.
