I'm currently a junior living in California, and USC is quite high on my college wish-list. Could anyone share information about the current in-state tuition for undergraduates at USC?
Sure, and it's great that you're interested in USC. However, it's important to note that the University of Southern California (USC) is a private institution, and such institutions do not differentiate their tuition based on the student's state of residence. In other words, there doesn't exist a concept of in-state or out-of-state tuition for USC or any other private university.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated cost of tuition and fees at USC is about $69,904. This does not include other costs like room and board, books, personal expenses, and transportation, which can bring the total cost of attendance to around $95,000 per year. Remember, these are just rough estimates and the actual costs can vary.
On the bright side, USC offers a variety of financial aid options, including both need-based and merit-based aid. The financial aid office can work with you to develop a plan that fits your circumstances. Be sure to fill out your FAFSA form to maximize your chances of receiving financial aid.
