How much should I expect to pay if I choose University of Massachusetts? Anyone got a breakdown of the cost?
Sure, I can provide a general overview. For the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the cost balance will fluctuate depending on your resident status - are you an in-state or out-of-state student?
As of the 2024-2025 academic year, for in-state students, tuition and fees approximate to about $17,772 per year. Room and board is roughly $16,000, and other expenses, such as books and personal expenses, may cost around $1,300 and $1,100 respectively. This totals to about $34,400 annually considering all factors.
On the other hand, for out-of-state students, things are a bit pricier. Tuition and fees are around $40,449 a year, with room and board still at $16,000. After adding books and personal expenses, the total goes up to around $57,200 per year.
These are ballpark numbers and of course, actual costs can differ based on a number of individual factors like course materials, travel, and personal lifestyle. Plus, these costs don't consider financial aid, which can obviously significantly reduce these totals. Use the UMass Net Price Calculator for a more specific estimate based on your financial situation. Hope this helps!
