Homes for the Price of 4-Year College Tuition

Harvard University

Annual tuition plus room and board: $52,652
Four-year costs: $210,608
Location: Cambridge, MA

Harvard is a pricey institution, ringing in at just over $50,000 and a few hundred more than Stanford. However, with that price tag comes the prestige of having attended the oldest and arguably most reputable university in the U.S.  Cambridge real estate is relatively expensive as well; median Cambridge home values are presently $440,400. Because Cambridge has a small and pricey real estate market, especially under the $215,000 mark, we found a home in adjacent Somerville.
