Hey everyone, I've been doing some research on Barton College and was wondering if anyone knew what the average cost is like? I know tuition is just one facet, so I'm hoping to get a broader understanding – any info on room and board, books, fees, or just general living expenses would be super helpful. Thanks!
Hi there! I might be of some help. According to the Barton College website, the estimated costs for the 2024-2025 academic year are as follows:
- Tuition and Fees: $37,000 (for traditional undergraduate students)
- Room and Board: About $12,000 (standard double occupancy room and meal plan)
So to cover tuition, fees, room, and board at Barton, you're looking at approximately $49,000. But of course, as you've noted, that's not the full picture. Books and supplies may cost approximately $1,200 and personal expenses can be about $2,000. And these numbers may increase slightly each year due to inflation.
So, a rough estimate of total cost per year, including books and personal expenses, could be around $52,200.
Bear in mind, though, that most students do not pay the full sticker price. The school provides financial aid packages which could bring down this cost significantly, so be sure to fill out your FAFSA to be eligible for these aids. Also, using the net price calculator on the Barton College website can give you a more personalized estimate accounting for potential financial aid. Good luck with your research!
