How much does it cost to attend the University of Connecticut?

I'm researching different universities and trying to figure out costs. Can anyone give me a breakdown of the cost of attending the University of Connecticut, including tuition, housing, and any other major expenses I should be aware of?

Sure, I can help you with that.

As of the 2024-2025 academic year, here are the major expenses you need to consider when attending the University of Connecticut:

1. Tuition:

- In-state: $17,010

- Out-of-state: $39,678

2. Room & Board:

- On-campus: Around $14,380

3. Books and Supplies:

- Approximately $570

4. Personal:

- Depending on your lifestyle, around $2,200

5. Transportation:

- This varies drastically depending on your location and method of travel. For an in-state student living on-campus, transportation costs might be minimal. However, for out-of-state students or those who commute, this cost can be significantly larger.

So, for an in-state student, you're looking at a total cost of approximately $40,000 while an out-of-state student may face a total cost of approximately $62,000, not including transportation.

Keep in mind that these are estimated total costs and your actual costs may vary. Additionally, merit-based or need-based aid can substantially lower these costs. Be sure to fill out the FAFSA to apply for federal aid and consider applying for scholarships to help cover some of these costs.
