Hi guys, I'm looking into University of Tennessee and trying to factor in the financial aspect. Besides tuition, how much does the room and board cost there? If you've attended, how was your overall expenses?
The cost at University of Tennessee can indeed vary based on several factors such as your housing choices and meal plans. While university websites often provide estimated costs, keep in mind that your personal expenses could be higher or lower depending on your lifestyle habits. Always a good idea to pad these estimates a little to account for unexpected expenses.
Tuition for in-state residents is roughly around $11,560. Out-of-state tuition costs approximately $30,704 per academic year.
For room and board, the estimated cost of living on-campus, including your meal plan, at University of Tennessee is about $13,356 for the academic year. However, prices can vary depending on which residential hall you choose to live in and what type of meal plan you select. There are several on-campus housing options - some are more updated (and therefore cost more), while others are more traditional dorm settings.
The total cost (including tuition, room, and board) generally comes out to approximately $35,156 for an in-state student, and around $54,600 for out-of-state students. This, of course, doesn't include personal expenses, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses, which are estimated to be around $1,925 and $1,300 per year respectively.
Remember, these are just estimates. Individual costs will vary based on personal spending and choices. For a more accurate estimate, consider using an online college cost calculator (https://netprice.utk.edu/netprice/npcalc.htm) or reach out to the University of Tennessee's financial aid office to discuss your specific circumstances.
