Most Hampshire families pay far less than the $72,784 sticker price. The average net cost drops to $25,810 after aid. Low-income families with earnings under $30,000 pay just $14,636 annually. Even middle-class families earning $75,000-$110,000 pay $26,760. Over four years, that's roughly $103,000 to $107,000 for most students.

Hampshire graduates leave with $26,893 in median debt. Monthly loan payments average $285, which represents about 7% of the typical graduate's $46,938 salary ten years out. The college's experimental no-grades approach attracts students willing to design their own education. Only 37.6% of students receive federal aid, suggesting many families can afford the full cost.
