The average cost of an education at a four-year private college was more expensive in Massachusetts than anywhere else in the country, according to a report released yesterday.
The cost of tuition and fees for the 2008-09 academic year averaged $32,592 in the Bay State, edging out Connecticut, where the cost was $31,914, and far outstripping the national average of $25,143, according to the College Board's annual "Trends in College Pricing" report.
The figures used by the College Board for its comparison did not include financial aid or tax benefits. Full-time students at private four-year institutions receive an average of $10,200 in grants and tax breaks, according to the report. The figures also do not factor in room and board.
