Hey there - curious Montana student here. Out of all the universities/colleges in our state, which one is generally the most expensive for tuition and other fees? Any help would be appreciated.
While tuition and fees can shift slightly each year, as of the recent data, Carroll College, a private, Catholic liberal arts college located in Helena, is typically considered the most expensive institution in Montana in terms of tuition and fees. Keep in mind, however, that the “sticker price” of a college education doesn’t always reflect what a student ends up paying, particularly once financial aid, scholarships, and grants are taken into account.
If the cost is a concern for you, I recommend using the net price calculators available on the websites of the schools you're interested in as they can give a more accurate estimated cost based on your family's financial situation. Don't let the sticker price discourage you from applying to a school you're interested in - pursue all avenues to see if you can bring that cost down. Also, consider the return on investment, like future earning potential and job opportunities, as part of the cost analysis.
