Hello! I'm considering UC Berkeley as one of my top choices for college. However, I'm having some trouble finding accurate info about their annual tuition. I'd appreciate it if someone could clarify for me the general cost of tuition and if there's a considerable difference for in-state vs. out-of-state students. Thanks!
Hello! UC Berkeley's tuition costs can differ significantly for in-state and out-of-state students. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated tuition and fees for in-state (California resident) undergraduate students are around $14,200 annually. In comparison, out-of-state students can expect to pay around $44,000 for annual tuition and fees. Keep in mind that these figures only cover tuition, and there will be additional costs for housing, meals, textbooks, and other expenses.
Also, please remember that financial aid can significantly reduce these costs for eligible students. You'll want to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and any other relevant financial aid applications to determine the potential financial assistance available to you. Finally, don't forget to use UC Berkeley's net price calculator to get a more accurate estimate of your total cost of attendance. Good luck!
