Hey guys! I'm really interested in Boston University. But I'm a bit concerned about the cost of attendance. Does anyone have an updated figure or breakdown for it?
Certainly, I can provide you with some insight into the cost of attending Boston University. Please note that these numbers can change slightly from year to year, but this provides an approximate estimate.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the total cost of attendance for a full-time undergraduate student at Boston University is estimated to be around $90,207.
Here's a breakdown of that total:
- Tuition: $66,670
- Room (depending on the type of accommodation): $12,180
- Board (Meal Plan - most dining plans): $6,840
- Fees: $1,432
- Books and supplies: About $1,000 estimated
- Personal expenses: About $1,455 estimated
- Local Transportation (average): About $630 estimated
The actual costs may vary depending on the student's course of study, personal expenses, and choices (for example, different meal plans, housing accommodations, etc).
Keep in mind this is the total cost without factoring in any financial aid or scholarships. Once you subtract those, your net cost might be lower. It's usually a good idea to use their net price calculator to get an estimate of what you might actually pay after aid. You'll need some financial information from your family to fill it out, but it can give you a more accurate estimate than the sticker price.
