The cost per credit hour is ridiculously wrong
I checked the cost per credit hour of many universities and they all show a huge number, big enough to exceed 2000, which is not only less than half-truth. Think about it, we at least need around 150 credit hours to get bachelor degree. If one credit hour is more than 2000 dollars, it will take us 300,000 dollars to graduate from university. What's more, you show the cost per credit hour of Harvard is around 4600, making the total cost to about 700,000. Think about it. It makes no sense. There must be something wrong with your website. But after all, you guys did a good job and I appreciated it a lot.

Hello - thanks for your feedback. Harvard reported to IPEDs that their cost per credit hour is $4,861. That is where we get that number from. However, at many colleges you would be considered full-time at 12 credit hours, and thus pay full-time tuition. Most schools, including Harvard, also offer significant discounts in the form of financial aid for students not able to pay full-price.
