So NYU, Georgetown and Johh Hopkins are higher or close in costs. They also rank consistently higher in US and international university rankings. So if GWU wants to continue charging "Ivy League"-type rates (not negating the impact of location as a cost factor), then it should focus on delivering "Ivy league"-type programs.

And that's if you buy a lot of spaghetti and watch your budget. I don't know whether Sarah Lawrence has a meal plan, but it's not hard to imagine that it's more adequate than our non-existent one. They may have a higher tuition officially, but nothing's as expensive as GW. When it’s all said and done, you easily pay over $55,000 a year.
