Cooper Union is a very unique place. Located near Greenwich Village in New York City, this college charges no tuition and has just 3 majors. Students do have other expenses (such as housing), but annual costs are under $20,000.
The 3 majors are Art, Architecture, and Engineering. There are only about 1000 students total. About half are engineering majors and admissions criteria are extremely selective for each program. The Art and Architect majors have to complete an at-home test that will really challenge even the most creative and talented. Once admitted, students will work very hard during their undergraduate years, but most will graduate on time.
A fifth building is just about complete and all buildings are within a block of one another. It is an Urban setting- meaning no true campus- but is is right next to a nice park.
