The cost of an elite education from a FORBES top 10 college doesn't come cheap. Neither does a private island or 1800 kegs of beer.

We compare the average tuition cost of college at the best of the best schools to a variety of premium goods. The breakdown goes from a full four years all the way down to a single minute of classroom time. But remember, this doesn't include the cost of room and board, food, fun, and all the other things students are spending on.
