Hi there, I'm really interested in applying to University of Michigan. I can't seem to find a concrete answer about the cost of attendance though. Any UMich students or alumni who can help me out?
Hello! The cost of attending University of Michigan can vary based on several factors. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated cost of attendance for Michigan residents attending the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus is approximately $32,000. This includes in-state tuition and fees (around $16,000), housing and meals (about $14,000), books and supplies (approximately $1,000), and other expenses including transportation and personal items (around $1,000).
Costs increase for out-of-state students since tuition and fees jump to roughly $32,000. When factoring in housing, meals, books, and other personal expenses, the estimated total cost of attendance becomes around $50,000.
Please keep in mind that these are estimated costs and can change from year to year. Moreover, your actual cost may be lower after accounting for financial aid or scholarships. It's recommended to use the net price calculator available on the University of Michigan's website to get a more accurate estimate based on your family's financial circumstances.
Remember to apply for aid as early as possible through the FAFSA and any scholarships you may be eligible for in order to help offset your education expenses.
