What's the financial bite going to be like for a student considering LIU Brooklyn? My folks and I are trying to map out possible costs for colleges, and I can't find an overall estimate for LIU Brooklyn. If anybody could drop some numbers, that'd be awesome.
Sure, let's break some of this down. The tuition at Long Island University (LIU) Brooklyn for the 2024-2025 academic year is approximately $40,248. The cost of room and board is roughly $17,800. If we break this down, meal plans are approximately $6,170, while housing is closer to $11,670.
On top of these, there are the usual additional costs. Books and supplies tend to be about $1,200 per year. Then there are personal expenses, which can vary widely based on individual needs and habits, but let's ballpark that at about $3,000 a year. There's also transportation, which could range from $500 to $1,000 depending on how much commuting you expect to do.
Keep in mind, these are all ballpark figures based on the most recent data available and costs can change year to year. Also, financial aid, scholarships, and grants can significantly reduce these costs, so make sure to factor potential financial aid into your calculations.
For the most accurate estimate of your expected family contribution, you should use LIU Brooklyn's Net Price Calculator (https://liu.edu/admissions/apply/net-price-calculator). This tool will take into account your family's financial situation and give you a more tailored estimate of what you might pay.
Remember, these figures are estimates and the actual costs may vary. Be sure to check LIU Brooklyn's official website or contact their financial aid office for the most specific and up-to-date information.
