The "sticker price" of a private university is not what most students pay. The average discount rate at private colleges is 56% — meaning students pay only 44% of the listed tuition on average. Elite schools with large endowments (Harvard, Stanford, MIT) cover full tuition for families earning under $100,000-150,000.
