Hey guys, I'm looking at applying to San Diego State University and I'm trying to figure out their fee structure. Can anyone give me a breakdown of the costs involved besides tuition? Things like mandatory fees and any other expenses I should be aware of would be super helpful. Thanks!
Sure, I'd be happy to help you with a general breakdown of the costs involved when attending San Diego State University (SDSU) besides tuition. Keep in mind that these costs are approximate and might change slightly each academic year.
1. Tuition & Fees: For the 2024-2025 year, these costs are $8,728 per year.
2. Housing and Meal Plan: The cost of housing and meal plan varies depending on the type of accommodation and meal plan you choose. On average, for the 2024-2025 academic year, SDSU estimates the cost of housing and food to be around $23,030 for those living on campus.
3. Books and Supplies: The estimated cost for books and supplies at SDSU is around $946 per year. This can vary depending on your major and whether you choose to rent or purchase used books.
4. Transportation: Transportation costs will depend on your personal situation and mode of travel. SDSU estimates average transportation expenses to be around $1,172.
5. Personal Expenses: These expenses can include things like clothing, toiletries, and other personal items. SDSU estimates that personal expenses for the average student will be around $2,214 per year.
For out-of-state students there is an additional tuition cost of $420/unit.
Please keep in mind that these figures are estimated and may vary depending on your personal situation and choices. It's also important to note that financial aid, including scholarships and grants, may help cover some of these costs. To get an accurate estimation of your costs and potential financial aid, I recommend using SDSU's Net Price Calculator on their website.
I hope this helps give you a better understanding of the costs associated with attending SDSU!
