Tennessee, What's Your Price?

Hello, I'm considering the University of Tennessee Chattanooga for college. Can anyone provide info about the typical attendance expense?

Sure, the cost of attendance at a state school like the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, often varies based on whether you're considered an in-state or out-of-state student. This determines the tuition you'll pay.

Residents of Tennessee typically have a lower tuition rate. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated in-state tuition and fees for full-time students was about $10,000. For out-of-state students, the estimated tuition and fees were around $27,000.

In addition to tuition, you should also consider the cost of housing, meals, books, and supplies. You might also need to budget for personal expenses and transportation. The estimated room and board for on-campus students was about $10,000. Books and supplies were estimated at around $2,000, and other expenses such as personal expenses and transportation were estimated at an additional $5,000.

All these amounts combine to create a total cost of around $27,000 per year for in-state students and approximately $44,000 for out-of-state students.

Keep in mind each student's situation is unique, so these are just estimates for a full-time undergraduate student. You can get a more precise estimate for your situation by using the net price calculator provided by the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. Also, financial aid packages could greatly offset these costs. It's always a good idea to fill out a FAFSA to get the most accurate picture of your college costs.
