Estimating the cost to attend University of Idaho

So I'm thinking about the University of Idaho for college, but financials are a big part of my decision. Anyone know roughly what it costs for an undergraduate year there? Any hidden costs I should be aware of?

The cost of attendance at the University of Idaho varies depending on whether you're an in-state resident or out-of-state. The estimate for in-state residents for the 2024-2025 school year is around $21,500 including tuition, fees, room and board, books, supplies, and other personal expenses. For out-of-state residents, the estimate is around $40,740.

These estimates are quite comprehensive, but keep in mind that individual costs can vary. For instance, living on-campus might be different than living off-campus or at home. Also, personal expenses can vary widely depending on an individual's lifestyle and spending habits.

Additionally, travel expenses for going home during holidays or breaks can add up, particularly for out-of-state students, so you should account for that as well in your budgeting.

Remember, these are just estimates. You should reach out directly to the university's financial aid office for a more accurate and personalized cost of attendance. They might also be able to provide information about financial aid opportunities like scholarships, grants, or work-study programs which can help offset the cost.

Finally, you can use the net price calculator on the University of Idaho's website to get a more personalized and accurate estimate, taking into account your family's income and other factors.
