Hello everyone, I'm exploring different options and Duke is high on my possible list! However, I'm having trouble finding a consistent figure for tuition, housing, and other necessary expenses. Does anyone know or have a rough ballpark of what it would cost for a year at Duke?
Sure, I can certainly provide some guidance here. For the 2024-2025 academic year, Duke University projects the following costs:
1. Tuition and Fees: This is around $69,140 per year. This includes costs directly paid to the university for your classes.
2. Room and Board: Duke estimates this to be approximately $19,798. This figure can fluctuate based on the type of housing and meal plan you choose.
3. Books and Supplies: The cost for this tends to vary significantly depending on your major, but Duke estimates this cost to average around $536.
4. Personal expenses: These refer to everyday living expenses, entertainment, etc. While these costs can greatly vary from one individual to another, the university estimates they will average around $3,274.
5. Travel: Depending again on your situation (like how far you live from campus), Duke estimates around $950 for this category.
Adding these costs together, Duke estimates the total cost of attendance to be around $93,698 per academic year. Please note that these are estimates and actual expenses can vary. In addition, it's worth mentioning that many students receive financial aid that can significantly offset these costs!
