Swarthmore's sticker price of $52,570 is right at the average of the Top 10, but its need-based and merit-based financial aid knock it down to about $19,000. Students typically graduate from Swat, as the small college is known, with about $16,000 in student loan debt. Founded by Quakers in 1864, Swat has been coeducational from the beginning.
