Hey, just a quick question here. I'm looking into University of Akron and wondering how affordable it is. What's the annual tuition there? Would be super helpful if you can share any insights.
The University of Akron's annual tuition can depend on whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student. For the 2024-2025 school year, in-state tuition and fees approximately total $13,135 for a full-time student. On the other hand, for out-of-state students, the total annual cost of tuition and fees is approximately $20,815. These fees include instructional fees, general fees, and the non-resident surcharge for out-of-state students.
Remember these are just the tuition costs and don't factor in other expenses you might incur, like housing, meals, books, transportation, personal expenses, etc. These additional costs can increase your yearly budget significantly.
Also, it's important to mention that many students often pay less than the published costs. Financial aid, including scholarships and grants, can reduce these numbers considerably. Universities often offer financial aid packages based on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which you should definitely complete to be eligible for this aid.
Lastly, it’s a good idea to use the University of Akron's Net Price Calculator (https://www.uakron.edu/finaid/cost-of-attendance/) to estimate your total cost of attendance, based on your family's financial situation. This can give you a more realistic picture of what you would pay.
