Hey, I'm interested in attending the University of Colorado Boulder, but I live out-of-state. What's the regular out-of-state tuition fee like?
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the University of Colorado Boulder estimated annual cost of attendance for an out-of-state student is $62,000. This encompasses tuition, fees, room and board, among other expenses. It's important to remember this figure is estimated, and your actual costs may vary based on factors such as housing arrangement and personal spending habits.
Of this total, out-of-state tuition and fees alone for undergraduates are approximately $33,000 per year. Room and board typically adds another $15,000, and then books and supplies, personal expenses, and transportation costs make up the remainder.
Keep in mind, however, that most students do not pay the full sticker price for college thanks to things like financial aid and scholarships. If cost may be a concern, it's definitely worthwhile to research scholarship opportunities that might be specifically available for out-of-state students attending CU Boulder. You can also fill out the FAFSA to apply for federal, state, and institutional financial aid.
