Need Information on Colorado College Cost

Hey all, I'm looking into Colorado College and trying to plan out financial aspects of college. Can anyone share with me the full cost of attendance at Colorado College, including room and board and other essential expenses?

Sure, happy to help provide this information. The total cost of attendance for Colorado College can be broken down into several main components: Tuition, Room and Board, Miscellaneous Fees, Personal Expenses, and Travel.

Tuition is typically the most sizable component. For the 2024-2025 academic year, Colorado College has set its tuition at around $70,224.

Room and Board expenses can vary based on your specific housing and meal plan selections. For a typical student, you can expect to pay around $16,020 for room and board, which includes both your housing and meals.

Additional mandatory fees are approximately $510, which cover things like student activity fees and other campus-wide services

Personal Expenses can include items like books, supplies, transportation, personal hygiene, entertainment, etc. Colorado College estimates that about $4,400 should be budgeted for these per academic year.

Travel expenses are not directly charged by the school, but you'll need to factor them in when considering the total cost of attending college, especially if you're coming from out of state or plan to go home for the holidays. These costs can really vary based on your specific circumstances - for example, how far you live from campus and how often you plan to travel. Colorado College estimates around $500 for travel costs, but you may need to adjust that based on your own circumstances.

So in total, you’re looking at an approximate cost of $91,154 per academic year when you add up tuition, room and board, fees, personal expenses, and estimated travel costs.

Please note, these are estimates based on information from Colorado College and can change based on your specific situation and any fee changes by the school. It's also important to remember this is the "sticker price", and does not factor in any financial aid or scholarships you might receive which can considerably reduce the actual cost. To get a more accurate picture for your specific situation, I'd recommend using the college's Net Price Calculator, which will account for financial aid and give you a more personalized estimate.
