Hello! I'm currently looking into San Francisco State University as one of my college options. I'm curious about the cost of attendance there. Does anyone know how much it would cost for tuition, room and board, and other expenses per year? Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! San Francisco State University (SFSU) is an affordable option in the California State University system. The cost of attendance can vary depending on your residency status (in-state or out-of-state) and whether you choose to live on-campus, off-campus, or with family.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated annual cost of attendance for undergraduate in-state students is as follows:
- Tuition and fees: $7,950
- Room and board (on-campus): $22,266
- Books and supplies: $1,100
- Transportation: $1,512
- Personal/miscellaneous expenses: $3,222
This adds up to a total cost of $36,050 per year for in-state students living on-campus. If you're an out-of-state student, you'll need to add an additional Non-Resident Tuition Fee of $396 per semester unit, which can significantly increase the tuition cost.
Of course, these are just the estimated costs, and your personal expenses may vary. Additionally, financial aid, grants, loans, and scholarships can help offset the costs, so don't forget to apply for those when you submit your application.
It's also important to remember that living expenses vary depending on your living situation. If you decide to live off-campus, your rent and utilities costs could be different than the university's estimates. Make sure to research the housing market in the area and calculate your expenses accordingly.
I hope this information helps you in your college decision-making process! Good luck!
