NJ teen loses first legal battle to make parents pay for education Posted: 04 Mar 2014 04:16 PM PST By Victoria Cavaliere MORRISTOWN, New Jersey (Reuters) - A New Jersey student who says her parents abandoned her when she turned 18 lost a first round on Tuesday in the lawsuit she filed against them for school costs and living expenses, a case that could set a precedent for a family's obligation to support a child who has left home. A family court judge denied a request by Rachel Canning of Lincoln Park, New Jersey, to have her parents temporarily resume paying her tuition and living expenses. Canning, 18, wants her parents to pay the remaining $5,000 in tuition owed to the Morris Catholic High School, where she is a senior, and she wants access to a college fund that was set up for her. In court, the teen said her parents remain obligated to help her with food, transportation, high school tuition and her college education.

10 Colleges With the Highest Tuition and Fees for Out-of-State Students Posted: 04 Mar 2014 06:00 AM PST The U.S. News Short List, separate from our overall rankings, is a regular series that magnifies individual data points in hopes of providing students and parents a way to find which undergraduate or graduate programs excel or have room to grow in specific areas. The average published out-of-state tuition and fees at public four-year institutions rose by 3.1 percent between the 2012-2013 school year and the following year, according to a report from the College Board, a nonprofit organization. This price is the highest cost for out-of-state students, according to data reported by 403 ranked institutions to U.S. News in an annual survey. Other schools that charge non-state residents a high price include University of California--Irvine, with tuition and fees totaling $37,566, and University of Vermont, which costs $36,646.
