Hey fellow peeps, I'm a high school junior thinking about applying to Stetson University. However, I'm a little lost in the world of tuition fees and additional costs. Can anyone fill me in on just how much tuition is at Stetson? Any other expenses I should be aware of? Cheers!
Hi there! Stetson University, like many private universities, does have a high listed cost of attendance. For the 2024-2025 school year, their tuition is approximately $57,010. But remember, this is just the base tuition, without considering other costs of attendance.
On top of tuition, there are a few more expenses to consider when planning for college. Accommodation is another big expense, with room and board fees at Stetson estimated around $17,728 for the year.
Then you’ve got your books and supplies, which cost about $1,200 per year, depending on your major and the specific classes you take. Of course, this cost can be reduced by renting books or buying used books whenever possible.
Lastly, don't forget about personal expenses, which include laundry, toiletries, entertainment, etc. This might add another $1,400to your budget per year. If you're planning to bring a car to campus, you'll need to account for parking fees and other car-related expenses as well.
However, keep in mind that these numbers represent the sticker price, not the net price most students pay.
Remember, application for financial aid and scholarships is key to lessen these costs. Maintaining good grades, performing well on standardized tests, and consistently participating and leading in extracurricular activities are good leverage for scholarship applications. Good luck!
