Sup peeps! I'm thinking of applying to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona but I've been having some trouble demystifying the cost. Can any current students or alumni walk me through the total cost of attending? Really appreciate any insights!
Hello! The cost of attending California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) varies based on your living situation and residency status.
If you're an in-state student living on campus, the estimated annual cost is around $28,109. This includes tuition and fees which are about $7,439, and room and board costing about $$16,202. Just remember these are estimated figures and actual costs may vary.
On the other hand, for out-of-state students, the estimated annual cost is about $39,989 . The major difference is tuition and fees, which are approximately $19,319 for out-of-state students but room and board costs remain almost the same.
These estimates also include miscellaneous personal expenses such as books, supplies, and transportation, but your costs could be higher or lower based on your personal situation.
And of course, these are the costs before financial aid. Depending on your family's financial situation, you might not have to pay the full price. Many students qualify for financial aid or scholarships that can significantly decrease the cost of attendance. Cal Poly Pomona has plenty of resources to help with this, including the Financial Aid & Scholarships office. They can guide you through potential aid and scholarship opportunities, so it's worth reaching out to them for more specific information. I hope this helps!
