Hey y'all! I heard some rumors that costs at University of Tennessee, especially tuition and room and board, have been on the rise recently. Does anybody have the latest numbers? Moreover, does it vary significantly between in-state and out-of-state students?
Yes, you are correct that costs at the University of Tennessee can vary significantly between in-state and out-of-state students. In the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated tuition and fees for in-state students are $14,000, while for out-of-state students, it's around $33,000.
Regarding room and board, the average cost is approximately $13,500, but this can vary depending on the type of housing and meal plan you choose. These costs are the same for both in-state and out-of-state students.
As schools grapple with rising costs and financial pressures, it's not unusual for tuition and fees to increase annually at many colleges, including the University of Tennessee. However, the rate at which these costs rise can fluctuate year by year.
It's also essential to remember that these figures are just the "sticker prices" and don't take into account any financial aid or scholarships you may receive. Many students end up paying less than these listed costs, so be sure to complete the FAFSA application and explore all potential sources of aid.
