Hobart William Smith Colleges

Overview of Hobart William Smith Colleges

---

The school is located in Geneva, New York, sitting right at the top of Seneca Lake, one of the finger lakes near Lake Ontario. It’s a small town, making it less likely that you’ll find much in the way of nightlife, but there is plenty of outdoors to enjoy.

The campus buildings are separated by expanses of green lawn and trees—perfect to study under. You and your fellow students will be able to stay on campus in dorms and enjoy everything that goes along with that as a freshman.

Tuition Cost & Financial Aid

---

Attendance at Hobart Williams Smith College is definitely not cheap. Tuition is relatively expensive, as is room and board. Altogether, the total price of attendance for one year averages around $74,400. This covers room and board, tuition, books, supplies, and other costs.

You likely won’t have to pay the whole amount. In a recent academic year, the average net price was $37,761; this refers to the cost that is left for students to pay after financial aid is fully applied. Because eligibility for financial aid is determined by a family’s annual income, those who make less money will end up with a lower average net price for which they are responsible. Families earning less than $30,000 pay around $13,283, which is much more manageable. Families earning between $48,001 and $75,000 pay around $26,135 and families earning more than $110,001 pay around $41,657.

Almost every freshman student in a recent academic year received financial aid; 98% received an average of $34,279 in grants and scholarships and somewhat less qualified for an average of $32,262 in institutional grants and scholarships.
