I'm trying to figure out the cost of attending Penn State University. Can anyone share how much the tuition is for in-state and out-of-state students? I'm planning my college budget and need an idea of the numbers. Thanks!
Sure, I can help with that! As of the 2024-2025 academic year, tuition at Penn State University varies depending on a student's status and campus. Here's a rough breakdown to give you an idea:
1. For in-state students at Penn State's University Park campus (the main campus), the estimated tuition and fees per year are approximately $20,644.
2. Out-of-state students at the same campus can expect to pay around $41,790 per year in tuition and fees.
Remember, these are just tuition estimates and do not include housing, meals, books, or personal expenses. Actual costs could be higher. It's always a good idea to visit the university's official website or contact the financial aid office directly for the most accurate and current cost information. Additionally, net price calculators can be helpful tools to estimate your total cost of attendance, factoring in things like housing, meals, books, and potential financial aid.
Also, keep in mind that these costs can vary across the different campuses of Penn State. The University Park campus tends to be more expensive than the other campuses.
