Last week, the Department of Education (DOE) released its list of the most expensive college tuitions in the country, but as Business Insider reported, the list was less than accurate for incoming freshman.

Business Insider said the DOE's list was based on tuitions that were two years old and did not include room and board and the other fees and charges tacked on by institutions.

The online publication released its own list of the 20 most expensive colleges in America with updated information and the total cost of an education for one year. The total cost in this list does not include expenses such as books, food and other various cost-of-living charges.

New York and California both had five schools appear on the list. Four of New York's schools occupied the five most expensive. Claremont was the city with the most schools on the list at three, while Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City each had two schools on the list.

All but two colleges were located in a major city or within an hour's drive. Only Dartmouth and Bard were located in towns more than an hour away from the state's major city/capital.

New York University was the most expensive school on the list, with a total cost just shy of $62,000. However, it is not even in the top 50 in terms of the DOE's ranking. It is ranked at 61.
