We crunched the numbers
To help you budget your expenses, we’ve estimated the costs of going to school for a continuing undergraduate student. Along with tuition, we include fees, books and supplies, room and board, and miscellaneous items. We also include an amount for personal expenses, which obviously will vary based on your lifestyle and choices. You’ll see the estimated costs for the 2025-26 academic year on the table below.
Keep in mind that it’s up to you where you live while you’re in school—with your family, in a residence hall on campus, or an apartment on or off campus. They all come with their own advantages—and costs. We suggest you check out CashCourse to help create your budget.
Note that actual tuition, fees and charges are subject to change, and could be impacted by factors including changes in state funding. Also, tuition and mandatory fees won’t be refunded if instruction is delivered remotely for any part of the 2025-26 academic year.
