Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $82,000 sticker price at Hobart and William Smith. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $11,000 annually after aid. Those from middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay around $20,000 per year. Even wealthy families earning over $110,000 typically pay $42,000 annually. Over four years, costs range from $44,000 for low-income students to $168,000 for high earners.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $27,000, creating monthly payments of $286. That debt load becomes manageable quickly since alumni earn a median $68,831 within ten years of graduation. The loan repayment rate hits 80%, suggesting most graduates can handle their payments. Students from working-class families get the best financial deal here, often paying less than many state schools while accessing the small classes and personal attention of a 10:1 student-faculty ratio.
