Tuition breaks the bank
Forbes: Kenyon second most expensive college in U.S.

Nobody at the College, especially the "independent, kind of quirky student" that Kenyon attracts, wants to feel that it is only affordable for millionaires, said Gocial. "I think we want to be the kind of place where people fit, where people feel comfortable, and we don't want that to be based on money," she said.
No changes to decrease cost
Costs to the College will remain the same, according to Nugent. The issue at hand is "cost allocation," how the College breaks up its costs into tuition and room and board fees, not the costs themselves.
Overhead costs like electricity and heating complicate the cost allocation process, said Nugent, because they are "part of the overall budget of the College." In order to determine tuition and room and board fees, the College must evaluate the percentages of each resource used in student residences and in other College buildings.
"We sit around the senior-staff table and talk about allocations for carpeting," said Delahunty. "Every single dime here is used incredibly well."

"Our tuition is higher and our room and board is lower, but our comprehensive fee is nowhere near the second most expensive in the country," totally agree!
