I'm thinking about transferring to Boston College and I'm trying to budget for all the costs. Can anyone tell me how much the transfer application fee is? Also, are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?
The application fee for transfer students at Boston College is $80. This fee generally covers the cost of evaluating your application and is non-refundable. If this fee presents a financial difficulty for you, you may request a fee waiver directly from Boston College's Office of Undergraduate Admission.
Apart from the application fee, there are typically no hidden charges in the application process itself. However, keep in mind the potential costs associated with submitting any standardized test scores (SAT, ACT) and official college transcripts, if the college you're currently attending does charge for these services.
As for other costs, once admitted and enrolled, you should budget for tuition, room and board, textbooks, personal expenses, and possibly health insurance, amongst other things. It's a good idea to review Boston College's estimated cost of attendance for an understanding of these potential expenses.
